I'm a librarian, so of course I'm biased about this; but I would say yes.
In most libraries you will have had exposure to a wide range of human knowledge. Even if you're just putting books on the shelves, you are discovering categories of academic study that you probably didn't even know existed. Even if you're just sitting at the circulation desk occasionally checking out books, you're getting to see new things people are interested in, and what kinds of interests might go together.
Also, most library work requires a certain degree of mastery of fairly complex tasks. Shelving books correctly takes reasoning and precision; checking books in and out means carrying out procedures correctly in a situation where a mistake could be a big customer relations headache.
Of course you can get these skills in other jobs--one of my best library workers was a grocery store cashier. And if you are trying to get into a particular program that is very competitive, you might do better to get experience related directly to your desired major. (Talk to someone in the field about that.) But as basic college-student work experience goes, I'd say being in libraries looks pretty good to most academic folks.

How do you get grants for college?
The financial aid office at any high school or college should be able to help you locate and even apply to as many scholarships as you qualify for. Filling out a FASFA application is a must and is the most important document you will submit in the process. The information on the FASFA application will be used for all forms of scholarships and financial aid and help qualify you for state and federal grant programs. If you are still in need of additional college scholarships and financial aid there are also some other very good sources available. The best source that I found is an ebook called the Secrets to get Free College Tuition, Revealed. It is loaded with links to additional college scholarships and will help guide you through the application process. Good luck!
