What about a cleaning job?
I don't know about a mail room runner, but I do know that generally you don't need a degree to be a Library Page. That's the person that puts the books on the shelves. For the most part there's minimal interaction with people. There are a few people that will ask you where to find a book, but most will go to one of the desks to ask. Management varies depending on the library. I've worked for two different library systems and I hated one but I love the one I'm at now, all because of the management. Plus most libraries are either city or county run so you tend to get holidays off and sometimes they'll even provide sick/vacation leave to part timers (again it depends on the library system, but you won't know until you look into it). And the hours tend to be fairly steady so you can easily work other activities in (and if you do plan to go back to school most librarians are willing to work with your schedule). Pages at the library I work at now work from 8-12. I kind of miss that lovely part time schedule because I got so much done in the afternoons, but I work full time now and I'm always off by 5 unless I agree to change up my schedule for something (like movie night). Another suggestion: With the holidays coming up, check with your local post office or UPS store. See if they need help in the back room instead of up front.
Well... if you want to work badly enough, you won't say that certain jobs are "beneath" you - remember, someone chose to work that job you're complaining you wouldn't do!

Working at a library is something that's always on my mind, but I was told you needed some kinda librarians degree to work there which is weird to me since all I want to do is put books back on the shelf...
You can find loads of information on resumes and cover letters if you do a quick Google search. There are even websites that will compile a basic one for you for free - you just enter your info (work history, etc). As for what job, that's up to you. Most career-type jobs require degrees, which is why you find that most entry level jobs are retail or food service, but not all. Pokeyonekenobie gave you some good advice. But it'll be hard to find a non retail, non food, non customer service job. Maybe look into stores needing stocking associates? It's still retail but less customer service based. Though those hours are usually nights. Good luck
