Nice place to work at

Pros

It’s a quiet environment, really nice to work at, especially the branches I got to work. I started volunteering, then got an internship and worked as library page then. Honestly this is more for people that are at College to get some extra cash, but also to network if you take advantage of it and do well, I got into IT by just being a page, always network.

Cons

I can’t think of any but if you in for the money in a library page position might not work out. You’ll need a second job or be too busy with college.

Pros

It's great if you love books. There are sometimes events where you can get free advance copies of books.

Cons

You will never get a raise unless you get promoted to a new job.

Pros

Nice environment, welcoming staff. Full timers get good benefits. There is room for growth too, as it seems the library tends to hire their own.

Cons

The pay is rather low.
