Our fundamental duties encompass the meticulous processes of checking library books and diverse materials both in and out, ensuring accurate record-keeping and smooth circulation. We actively engage with library patrons, providing comprehensive assistance in their search for books, specific subjects, particular authors, and other information resources. A significant aspect of our work involves the systematic shelving of books and materials, diligently placing them in their precisely designated locations within the library. Furthermore, we regularly shelf-read the collections, ensuring that books are arranged in strict adherence to the Dewey Decimal classification system, and we maintain the order and organization of all other library materials.

Beyond circulation and organization, we play a crucial role in preserving and maintaining the integrity of our library collections. This includes carefully mending damaged books, skillfully repairing wear and tear, and diligently processing new acquisitions and other materials to make them readily available for patron use. We also serve as educators, clearly explaining library policies and procedures to patrons, ensuring a harmonious and informed environment. We provide essential guidance and support in utilizing the computer catalog system, empowering patrons to efficiently locate books and other resources within the library. Additionally, we are responsible for accurately calculating any charges associated with overdue materials, ensuring the fair and responsible use of library resources. A vital administrative function is the processing of library cards for individuals aged six years and older, granting access to our extensive collections and services. Above all, our paramount mission is to serve you and every member of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands with dedication and commitment.
