  • Currently a page and I like it, but I think I'm ready to move on. It's a really physical job and sometimes even stressful. But it's so fun to make the library look neat and get in a few steps. It's so repetitive, but I try to make it a game by finding damaged materials on the shelf and other silly stuff I do. ;) What you said at 3:38 is so true. Sometimes I even have to help the library assistants and supervisors find things because I know where stuff is.

    I had no idea what a library page was- really interesting, and hooray for enjoying your job! :)
  • As someone who's been writing a novel featuring a cast that works in a library, I weep as I realize I've been calling them 'clerks' this entire time. And I've worked in a library. Guess who's about to fix their manuscript! Again! šŸ˜­
  • I got a job as library page! I start the 20th and I'm so excited!
  • 2:35 So honest and funny! Page "aptitude test" this week! As a Master Organizer I know my alphabet and my decimals, but a little research can't hurt. I've watched a few slow and dry presentations, but your presentation style is excellent. (PS: I think that Hayden Young likes you). Had a wonderful career in Museums and Communications before being a long-term stay-at-home Mom. But will head to a school library when I am done with my studies. Yeah Books!
  • OMG I wanna be a library page! It seems like a perfect job for booklovers! Well, I'd be happy for any job in a place with books xD I don't think we have that position.. I had never heard of it and there aren't so many libraries in Italy :/

    I felt like watching this again and the first thing that popped in my head when you said itā€™s the best job youā€™ve ever had is ā€œbut what about being the owner of ye olde rock shoppeā€? Lmao

    I have my first job interview in a couple days and it's for a library page position. I really hope I get it, it's the perfect job for me (I don't get to read as much as I want to because Junior year of high school is really taking its toll lol)
  • I love this term 'Library Page'! I had to look it up (yes) I thought it may be a joke!šŸ™ƒas in Australia the positions are library assistants. Library Page is much more interesting!

    It's great to hear how much you love your job! Thanks for the insight as well. I always wondered how certain parts of libraries work. Do you know how circulation of book requests work? I've always been curious about that.

    I applied once when I was 16. Ended up getting a job in retail instead. Oh how my life would have been different.

    I was a Page until the very day I became a Librarian. It was such a great job and I miss the solitude sometimes! Any future library plans?
  • I have an interview and I need help preparing I have Autism so can someone tell me exactly the questions they would be asking and and exactly how I can answer them sure I can tweak it to match me but I need to be utterly prepared or else I will fail because my social skills are not great. While interview are easy for neurological people I have to script it and study it exactly in order to succeed.
