Your ability to be outcome focused and look for opportunities to promote and educate our patrons on what they may be looking for.

• A small group of teens are hanging out in the library after school and having fun, talking loudly. Another customer approaches you and complains that the teens are too noisy and should be studying. How do you manage this situation?
• A customer who has English as a second language comes to the desk indicating that they want you to fill out a passport application for them on one of the public PCs. How would you help them?
• You arrive for your shift and notice that there are 5 trolleys of books out on the floor to put away and the returns are also overflowing. You notice that the other 2 staff on duty are quietly chatting down the back of the library. What would you do in this situation?
