    counter, then you should
  • Count the money at BOTH the beginning and end of
    the period
  • Collect any money from printing
  • Check in/out and renew items
  • Take care of fines

    books thrown all over the place right?!?!
  • Shelve any newly returned books that belong in
    your section
  • Make sure your rows are in the correct order
  • Look behind your rows. Are there any books hiding
    back there???
  • Pull out your books so they are closer to the
    edge and easy to see
  • Dusty rows are gross! Wipe them off when
  • dusty

    social skills like...

Social Skills

    polite to library users
  • By working together with other L.P.S., we become
    better at getting along and resolving problems
    between each other when we dont agree
  • Patience is acquired when working with others
    (L.P.S. and library users)

Work Experience
  • Completing tasks is our responsibility
  • People dont always get along. We get used to
    working with others who dont think the same way
    as you do.
  • Acting professionally with library users is
    similar to working with customers!

    lots and lots of books sounds, its really not bad
    at all!

    Library Practice students will be filled with
    lots of laughs and memories!
