Job Description

READING ROOM DESK ASSISTANT -  Spring/Summer

Job description:

Students are hired and trained to work at the Reading Room Desk. They provide information to visitors, perform ID and printer checks, and enforce the restricted seating policy in the Reading Room and the Law School Commons. 

Hours:

During spring/summer semesters the Reading Room Desk is staffed:

  • Monday-Friday 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
  • Saturday -Sunday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Student assistants staff this desk for all of these hours. Applicants with flexible schedules are given preference for hiring.
