Pros

- Library hours are decent. Closing is at 9pm, 5pm or 6pm so you arn't out too late. Start times are 10am or 1pm so not too much of an early start. - Overtime not required. Very much a-go-in-do-leave-again job. Work doesn't travel home. - Learn library shelving and procedures - extensive knowledge of the dewey decimal system

Cons

- Scheduling can be all over the place. Really depends on manager. - Poor Promotion Opportunities. Require too much experience to move up to a Library Aide. - Poor branch management support in continuing to use skills learned in the Library Aide Training Program. - Can be a very physical job - lots of kneeling, stretching and pulling/pushing.
