Dear Ms. Piscatelli:

I am submitting my enclosed resume for your consideration for the open position of reference librarian at Springfield Public Libraries. As a library sciences professional with more than 11 years of experience, I am confident in my ability to surpass your expectations for this position.

My experience includes serving as librarian-in-charge at Fairfax County Public Libraries, where I supervised five librarians on the central reference desk, as well as assisted patrons of all ages with their library and research needs.

Here are a few highlights of my professional accomplishments:

Selected materials and managed $15K+ budget for Reference, Young Adult Nonfiction and eResource (including database and eBook) collections

Increased library usage and circulation by 7% annually through displays, news articles, advertisements and web updates as well as direct outreach to patrons.

Reviewed and selected new books and other materials for collection development.

Performed administrative functions including check-in and coding of new materials, order processing, and management of interlibrary loans.

Trained patrons and staff on how to use e-readers, electronic databases, software, and library catalog.

With my extensive background in library services and support, combined with my education and passion for the important mission that libraries serve, I feel more than ready to exceed the expectations you have for this position. I look forward to discussing my qualifications in more detail.

Thank you for your time and consideration.Sincerely,Randolph Q. Harris
