sammie, the library assistant

the main purpose of this post is to let you guys know, i finally got a job, working in the public library, as an assistant. 6 days a week, 7-8 hours a day between 9:30am to 7:30pm.

before i can actually work in the library, i have to go thru a week of training which have just started yesterday.

basically, what i have to do are divided into 2 parts: clerical duties & cultural services assistant duties.

clerical duties are something like process application for new library card, lost and replacement of card, provide reservation and inter-library loan service, handle request for back issues of newspaper and periodicals in closed stack, check-in/out library materials in transit from/to other branch libraries, answer readers' inquiries, assist in activities that held in the library, etc.

cultural services assistant duties are something like sorting and shelving of library materials, assist in preparing new library materials for circulation, perform minor repairing of books, preparing current newspapers for display, assist in searching and fetching for library materials when required, patrol and maintain order and tidiness in library area, assist in charging and discharging of library materials, etc.
