Student Assistant

August 2016 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

Lots of interpersonal contact with my community, downtime for browsing the gigantic collection, and beautiful views from the building.

What I wish was different

It’s a lot of physical labor that’s hard on my body during the longer shifts.

Advice

Do it if you get an opportunity to! The library isn’t massive and the staff and supervisors are kind and accommodating.
