Libraries and Information Centres

Librarians and library assistants work in public libraries meeting a broad range of information needs.  They are responsible for buying books, videos, CDs and DVDs and helping people use a variety of reference sources such as CD ROMs and the internet. As well as routine tasks like checking reference materials in and out and cataloguing and organising collections, library staff help to arrange educational events and exhibitions.  

Other council information work may involve archiving council documents or providing specialist information about individual services such as leisure, tourism, community projects or the workings of the council.
