  • Coordinate supply orders and print shipping materials (labels, return slips, etc.)
  • Oversee basic library functions in the Librarian’s absence
  • Support event logistics (e.g., room setup, catering coordination)
  • Provide occasional backup for front desk/reception
  • Handle additional administrative duties as assigned
