Incumbents follow prescribed procedures and guidelines in the organization and preparation of deliveries. Assigned tasks do not include direct patron interaction. Incumbents in this classification primarily perform routine and repetitive tasks and assignments are generally limited in scope. This class is distinguished from the Library Bookmobile Clerk in that the latter operates the library bookmobile, driving to designated areas to offer library circulation and program services, and providing direct customer service to patrons.

Candidates must have completed high school (or obtained the GED) and possess a valid California Driver's License by time of appointment.

Experience operating a large or commercial vehicle and working in a library are desirable.

This is a part time position, typically assigned 10 hours per week, up to a maximum of 15, with no minimum number of hours guaranteed. Scheduled hours will be on Saturdays and/or Sundays.
