Hi,

Due to family reasons, I will be leaving The Seattle Public Library and moving back to California.  This systems librarian announcement is to fill my current job. If you're interested, please apply even if you don't have experience with every item listed. All job applications have to go through the normal process in the application link.  However, I'm happy to chat off list if anyone is interested in learning more about what this job entails and what it is like working at SPL.
