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!
