My name is Dan Bradbury and I am an executive recruiter with Gossage
Sager Associates/Bradbury Associates.  We specialize in the library
field and are currently helping Chattahoochee Valley Libraries
(headquartered in Columbus, GA) with their search to fill their
Children's Department Head position.  We are contacting some of the
library leadership in some of the states neighboring Georgia asking them
to help us identify promising candidates who might have an interest in
this opportunity.  We are particularly interested in reaching children's
librarians--especially the ones that may not be actively seeking another
job--to make them aware of this possibility.

 
The job could be an excellent opportunity for an up and coming library
professional.  While the position requires an MLS and five years of
children's experience with a preference for prior supervisory and
management experience, the Library will look at candidates with relevant
pre-professional experience and will consider "promise and
potential"--perhaps a slightly less experienced professional who has
that blend of creativity, energy and drive to develop as a staff leader
for the system.  The successful candidate will need in-depth knowledge
of child development and literature and a passion for developing and
implementing children's programs and services.  S/he will join an
outstanding team of library professionals providing quality services to
the area. The hiring salary range is $45,625-$53,738 with excellent
benefits.
 

Situated about two hours south of Atlanta, Chattahoochee Valley
Libraries is a four-county library system serving Columbus, Georgia and
the surrounding area (total pop. 200,000+).  The Columbus Library
features the Aflac Children's Room and new outdoor Children's Reading
Garden providing a beautiful environment for children's programs and
services. The Library, in addition to a 125 seat auditorium, has several
large meeting rooms. Programs are limited only by your imagination! The
attached job announcement and website offer much more detail.

 

If you have any suggestions for potential candidates who might be
qualified and interested, we would certainly appreciate hearing from
you.  And certainly if you have any personal interest in the position,
we would welcome the opportunity to talk with you further.

 

Thank you for your consideration.   I look forward to hearing from you
with any suggestions.

 

Best wishes.

 

Dan
