English translation:duties performed were mainly at the Front Desk
Explanation:
In Danish, "Ekspeditionsområdet" in a library refers to the place where you borrow books, return books, have library cards issued, etc. In the US, this is usually called the front desk. Not sure exactly how I would put it, but something like this. Good luck!

After doing a search on the internet, I also found circulation desk. This might be even better. Here are just a couple of links I found using this term.
