Welcome Back! Shelver - Circulation

Welcome back to shelving at Tigard Public Library! These 90-minute shifts are a little shorter than the usual Shelver shifts. Whether you're a confident Shelver eager to return or a less confident Shelver who would like a little extra support, these shifts are a good way to reengage with Tigard Public Library's Circulation team. During these shifts, you'll help shelve the enormous backstock of items from the temporary building closure while refamiliarizing yourself with the Shelving Guide and the library's many collections. Extra Circulation staff experts will be available to help direct your work and answer questions to ensure you feel fully confident and prepared before the building reopens to the public.  

The same as this standard Shelver role, this position is physically demanding with repetitive reaching, bending, twisting, squatting, and reading small print. Shelvers regularly push a cart of books, lift books, and access the top, middle, and bottom shelves of the library's collections.

*Note: This position is only open to volunteers who have already completed Circulation training. Circulation volunteers are required to complete three shifts per month. If you would like to learn more about Circulation training, please reach out to the library's volunteer coordinator at becca.reyes@tigard-or.gov. If you have completed the library's Circulation volunteer training, you may sign up for this position.
