Hi Folks:

 

I wanted to put this out there and to say that we really, really want to talk to folks interested in youth services and school librarianship – although you can’t tell it from the advertisement. If you meet the other requirements and you are youth-focused, please, please apply! I’m happy to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to email me ([log in to unmask]) or the search chair Wade Bishop ([log in to unmask]) with any questions.
