Library assistants help patrons find and check out books and other materials in a library. They organize and shelve items, ensuring that everything is in its proper place. They may also assist with computer systems and help users access digital resources. In addition to customer service, library assistants often perform administrative tasks. This can include processing new materials, maintaining records, and assisting with events or programs. Their role is essential for keeping the library running smoothly and providing support to both patrons and librarians.
