Your ability to be outcome focused and look for opportunities to promote and educate our patrons on what they may be looking for.

• A customer who has English as a second language comes to the desk indicating that they want you to fill out a passport application for them on one of the public PCs. How would you help them?
• You arrive for your shift and notice that there are 5 trolleys of books out on the floor to put away and the returns are also overflowing. You notice that the other 2 staff on duty are quietly chatting down the back of the library. What would you do in this situation?
