Library Technician / Library Assistant

Library technicians assist librarians with cataloging, patron services, collection management, and program support in public, school, academic, and special libraries. Despite national decline trends driven by digital resources, Florida's large public library system — including the Miami-Dade system (one of the largest in the U.S.) and Broward County Libraries — maintains substantial technician employment.
