The Oak Harbor Library provides service to the diverse population of Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island, which includes a large military population. The Library Associate position will work with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic team that is responsible for providing customer service support, serving as “in-charge” staff when needed, assisting customers with account information, computer and printing help, registering customers for new accounts, processing materials, answering phones, and answering basic reference questions.
