Working at SRMPS involves a lot of hard work & commitment coupled with fun and enjoyment. Learning is a two - way process and both students and staff find the culture challenging and stimulating. The desire to stand out and make their presence felt in as brief a time span as possible is very strong amongst the school fraternity.
- We are looking for an experienced librarian with a passion for learning and books to join our team.
- You’ll ensure that the library runs smoothly on a daily basis, and all patrons are happy with our services. Also, some important librarian tasks you’ll undertake include developing, organizing, and updating library records.
- To do this job, you’ll need to be a people person, since you’ll regularly interact with patrons and other library employees. Endurance and patience is also a must, as you’ll often handle multiple duties at the same time, for instance, showing people how to use the resources database or updating the information system.
- If you fit this description and you’re also adept in shushing noisy patrons, we’d like to hear from you.
