Student Employment in the Library

Student employees are absolutely vital to the success of the Library! 

We are selective about who we hire because we rely heavily on student employees to help us meet the needs of our students, faculty, and staff. The students who work for us have to be dependable, curious, and detail-oriented.

The Library reviews job applications from students prior to each term (Fall, J-Term, Spring, Summer).
