Circulation at THL

The Circulation Department at the Traphene Hickman Library is the front line of customer service. The staff are called "LSR's" or Library Service Representatives. Our department supports the movement of items (books, DVD's, library of things, etc.) as they go in and out of the library. As well as providing customer service at the desk by checking out items, answering questions, making library cards, etc. Providing premier customer service to our library patrons is top priority and we strive to provide a clean and user friendly environment.

Both teen and adult volunteers have the chance to do a variety of activities that are helpful to the public and the library staff. 

Some of the opportunities to volunteer in this area of the library include but are not limited to: 

• Prepping items for shelving.
• Shelving library items.
• Maintaining the aesthetic of library shelves
• Large circulation projects (shifting of items, inventory, etc.)
• Day to day tasks (pulling items on hold for patrons, searching for missing items, etc.)

We strive to have our volunteers use their talents, strengths, and to enjoy their time as volunteers.
