Mildred Graham

As the Associate Manager of Circulating Services, Library for the Performing Arts, I am responsible for Circulation Operations, which consist of fiscal duties, supervision, training, and scheduling of clerical staff.

 

Additional responsibilities include revision of the Fine and Fees report; timesheet revision; staffing the on-call supervisors’ desk; managing reserve procedures and library page operations; training, supervising, and mentoring; chairing the head librarians and clerical supervisors’ meeting in order to improve patrons’ experience; analyzing workflow to streamline clerical support and procedures; and conducting various trainings and informational meetings, as needed.

This role offers an opportunity to work at one of the most prestigious institutions in NYC. The New York Public Library is the second largest in the United States with nearly 53 million items and 92 locations. The Library for the Performing Arts Library is a great place to work because it is located on the Lincoln Center Plaza campus along other performing arts institutions. I enjoy working in service of our community and interacting with colleagues throughout the organization, as we collectively support patrons and resolve any issues or concerns that may arise.

Additionally, the New York Public Library offers many opportunities for advancement on its website (www.nypl.org) and a great benefit package, which includes Union representation, a pension, and tuition assistance.
