JoCoLibrary Uncovered
Pages, Clerks, and Bears! Oh my!
Did you know that not every staff member in the Library is a Librarian? Ever wondered what the difference is between a page, a clerk, an information specialist and a Librarian? Well, when we asked folks on Facebook what they wanted to know about the Library, several patrons wondered just that. Well wonder no more!
