Interested in becoming a library assistant? 

Library assistants help with shelving, circulation, and event planning; most significantly, they show love for the library. You might not be a big reader (yet), but you might be a big fan of the Makerspace, organizing things, or maintaining the tidiness of the space. No matter what your interest, the most important qualities are a willingness to help, a desire to advocate for the library, and a growth mindset. 

Students interested in becoming library assistants need to complete all of the required steps. 

Fill out the form below if you'd like to become a library assistant. This form will help us make decisions, but we will assign tasks based on library needs above all other things.

New for 2023-2024

Library assistants will be scheduled for occasional morning time-slots and, space permitting, lunch spots even on days when we're closed for classes. 

Video Quiz

DO NOT COMPLETE THIS STEP UNLESS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING APPLIES:

• You are a returning library assistant who has filled out the Google Form.

You'll have to answer questions while watching the video, but don't worry - the video will pause for you to answer the questions.
