Hi folks,

If you have a couple of years administering an ILS, I invite you to
consider applying to the Systems Librarian job at The Seattle Public
Library. While the job post below lists a link to job benefits, some of the
unlisted job benefits:

   - Working in the iconic Central Library
   <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Central_Library>
   - Supportive, collaborative co-workers
   - Team-centered departmental approach to both projects and daily work
   - Occasional baked goods and thank you post-it notes from your direct
   manager

In case you are concerned about all the job duties listed in the
description section, there will be support to get you up and going on those
duties! Our current Systems Librarian will still be on our team when you
start, and will be helping you through the the first year of your
employment at SPL.

While I am the hiring manager for this search, I'll do my best to answer
any questions you might have about this position. Best of luck for those of
you who apply!

Cheers,
Becky
