Not all it seems - Anonymous employee Champaign Public Library Employee Review

The staff is professional. The patrons are awesome. It was great to be a immeshed in my community in this way.

The pay could be higher.

Comfortable working conditions at a beautiful public library Get to help keep a valuable, educational public resource in good condition Colleagues are generally nice people Get to help patrons with their questions

You are getting paid $11/hr with no benefits Zero opportunity to advance to circulation desk unless circulation/management likes you Caught between circulation/shelving duties and cafe maintenance, can get hectic with shift changes Responsibilities may change with little warning On your feet all the time Supervisors can be bad at cluing in employees to the rules they make up in their heads/change on a whim
