Work independently and as part of a team through effective collaboration and strong interpersonal skills.
Respond effectively to change, demonstrating curiosity and a learning mindset.
Handle the physical requirements of the job including lifting library materials, reaching to place materials on shelves, pushing carts, and frequent standing, walking and bending.
