Clemons Library at the University of Virginia is seeking student Circulation Assistants for the 2026-27 school year. The Library Circulation Assistant will provide customer service at the Clemons 4th floor main desk.  The position duties include, but are not limited to, checking out books, videos, and equipment items to patrons, answering general informational questions; checking in returned materials and getting them organized and re-shelved; providing basic IT support for printers and desktop computers.
