Treasure hunter sought for the Sandpoint Library

Save to Favorites

Have you ever requested an item from the library to have it magically and conveniently appear to your delight on the holds shelf? Our library treasure hunters (aka. holds assistants) are the ones who make the magic happen.

Our patrons love the service so much that our current Treasure Hunters temporarily need some help specifically on Saturday mornings for a 2 hour shift starting at 8:30 am.

Here's what our treasure hunters do:
Assists the Circulation Department by pulling patron hold requests from library collections.

Holds Assistant is provided with list of materials to find. Once found, materials are given to assigned staff member to scan and generate holds slips. Volunteer and/or staff member then places slips in corresponding items and files them on holds shelf ready for patron pick-up.

And voila, magic happens.

Must be able to demonstrate familiarity with our library collections and the ability to find materials. Either a minimum of 3 months shelving experience in our district or demonstration of successful Treasure Hunting skills required. After passing a basic skills test, we can train you and help you to meet these requirements.
