In my current position of library assistant being stationed at the main issue desk I get to
effectively communicate with diverse users and customers that seek information queries and
services from the library. I have at times being appreciated for my friendly demeanour, patience
and professional etiquette with all patrons. I am passionate about staying up to date with the
latest library best practices.
I have completed my Diploma in Library/Information Studies and consistently believe in taking
challenges and exploring new concepts to improve library efficiency. Having completed my
Bachelor’s degree in management, I have had to supervise part –time staff in terms of work
flow efficiency and circulation desk duties in the absence of the senior library assistant and
coordinated with IT staff for laptop repairs and network issues. With the assistance of the SLA,
to write up library notices for user privileges e.g. laptop loan usage requirements. Recently, I

of working critically with information and having an active collaboration with the staff and
users to disseminate timely and quality information.

strong fit for this position. I look forward for an interview to discuss further. My resume is
enclosed with this letter for your perusal.
