  Library Technician

  I assist in managing the libraries at the Carson City Correctional Facility. I schedule prisoners to come into both law and general libraries. This is done by processing kites, formal paper requests to come to the library. I review the date(s) the prisoner(s) request, see if there are conflicts in the prisoner(s) schedules, and review if there is an opening on the date(s) and time(s) requested. I review newspapers, magazines, audio, and braille books before they are placed in the library or loaned to prisoners. I also catalog the audio and braille books. Materials that risk the safety and security of the prison are either returned to the loaning institution(s) or are disposed. With the librarian, I manage the library clerks. I give the clerks materials to shelve and keep track of what hours they work. I monitor the reading room and check prisoners in and out of the library.Duties:• Reference Services• Monitor the reading room• Check in and check out users into the library• Schedule patrons for library use using Offender Management Network Information System• Process new library material• Process kites• Distribute copies of legal materials• Catalog loaned audio and braille books Show less
