Here’s a Glimpse of the Job  

Are you someone who thrives in a welcoming, service-oriented environment and enjoys working independently?

In this role, you’ll be the first point of contact for students, faculty, and staff providing advanced support in circulation, reference, and document delivery services.  

This is more than just a library position—we’re looking for someone who will embed themselves in the Round Rock community. You’ll build relationships with faculty, stay in tune with student needs (like knowing when exams are happening), and support both the medical and nursing schools on campus. You’ll also collaborate with colleagues across regional sites and College Station to ensure seamless service delivery. We're looking for someone who can confidently navigate virtual platforms and communicate effectively across distances.  

If you're ready to be a welcoming presence, a trusted resource, and a key part of a vibrant academic community, we’d love to hear from you.
