Responsibilities generally include the supervision of study spaces to ensure that a quiet atmosphere is maintained. It's a pretty easy job, but one with lots of down time - meaning it leaves you with time to catch up on reading, do some homework, or study for an exam.
If there are no openings as a monitor, consider other positions at the library, too - like working at the print center or checking out books, for example.
How to Land the Job: A lot goes on behind the scenes at college libraries, so inquire with yours to see what positions are available.
