Personal Responses
1.Why do you want to work at the Maintown Public Library?
I consider myself a keen reader,a quality I feel a library clerk should possess.Although my reading preferences span a variety of genres,I consider mystery and science fiction among my favourites.Additionally,I volunteer in my school library as an assistant after school; therefore,I have experience using a library catalogue and check-out system,assisting others in researching topics through the Internet and shelving books.My school librarian,Mr.Morris,has trained me to process new books for delivery to the floor.I feel my experience would translate well to the public library system and ensure that the public library gains a valuable employee.
2.What do you enjoy about visiting the Maintown Public Library?
A library is a place of learning and reflection,so it should be comfortable and welcoming.From the large windows to the plush armchairs to the well-organized layout of the shelves and open spaces,the bright,cheerful atmosphere of our town's library makes me want to extend each of my visits.All my friends have Maintown Public Library cards.
3.How do you define good customer service?
Good customer service means customers leave the library feeling they have accomplished their initial goals for visiting the library that day.In order to assist in this endeavour,a library clerk should determine a customer's needs and make those needs a priority.Whether patrons have come to the library to browse for a book,or they are researching a topic through the Internet or other media,my job would be to assist them in their search.
4.A reader complains about the library services or products.How would you respond?
I would first apologize for any inconvenience,and then I would work to solve the problem.The key to solving problems is listening and asking questions.Using the knowledge I have gained through working in my school's library and any skills gained through work in the public library,I would work to handle the issue for the reader.If I am unsure of how to solve the problem,I would ask the librarian for help.Finding a solution to a reader's issue will help create a positive environment and ensure that every reader feels comfortable in asking staff for assistance.
Please review the following information and sign below.
I certify that I have answered and provided all information honestly and accurately,to the best of my knowledge,and I give my permission to the public library to contact my references.
