Both of our new libraries are happening places! People are walking in our doors from the moment they open until the moment before they get locked up for the night. With this many folks coming and going, it is challenging for staff to have time to greet every customer with a friendly "hello" and give each person the one-on-one assistance that makes for an exceptional library experience. You could help us give that personal touch!
As a Library Concierge, you will help transform our buildings into welcoming environments. Your will greet customers, answer questions about the building and current events, assist customers with the self-check out process, provide basic directions and simple instructions for customers looking for help, and put a personal touch to the customer’s library experience.
But don’t think the customer is the only one thankful for your help - your efforts will also be a tremendous asset to our Library staff! Knowing you are working alongside them to help provide basic customer service means that our staff can more fully concentrate on the complex library services they do best. Together, you’ll enrich the library experience for all customers!
Open opportunities are: Saturday from 9am-5pm and Sunday from 1-5pm. Volunteer at either the Downtown Library or Ladd Library.
For more information about this volunteer opportunity, please contact Jessica Link at linkj@crlibrary.org or 319-739-0403.

Description
Walk into the Cedar Rapids Public Library and you’ll discover a diverse community. Designed for readers and learners of all ages and from all backgrounds, we are the community’s living room - a place to connect, unwind, share ideas, and explore new possibilities.
Working alongside our staff, volunteers transform a building of "stuff" into a dynamic place to dream, do, and discover. Whether you are caring for materials, guiding tours, or reading with children, you are constantly renovating our living room to make it a little bit bigger and better than it was yesterday. You give us space to grow and welcome in new ideas, people, and opportunities.
So, open the door to your next great opportunity! We’ve saved a seat on the couch for you.
