shared responsibility; empathy and mutual respect; leadership; and continued
learning and growth.

  
We are seeking a curious and enthusiastic individual who recognizes both their
technical strengths and areas for growth, and can help us work effectively to
further DPLA's mission to bring together the riches of America's libraries,
