Ms. Amelia Brown
Manager HR
Education Complex
910 Steel Street

Dear Ms. Brown:

I am very interested in the position of Librarian at Education Complex, as advertised on your website last week. With my Masters’ Degree in Library and Information Science, hands-on experience in managing library operations and related information work, I am confident that I would become an asset to your organization.

My extensive work experience with both private and public libraries has given me the skills required to directly contribute to Education Complex:

• Helping library patrons locate the information they require
• Organizing library materials, so they are simple to find
• Planning programs for different age groups
• Developing and indexing databases of library materials
• Overseeing and directing library support staff
• Preparing library budgets

My analytic and research capabilities would assist me in managing the overall operations of Education Complex. Moreover, I have a demonstrated ability to deal with multicultural patrons. The enclosed resume will support and highlight my capabilities as a librarian.

I would appreciate an opportunity to meet and elaborate on how could make a significant contribution to your library. To follow up on this application and set up an interview, I will email you after a few days to check the status of my application and will be available at (000) 854-8656 if you need to contact me in the interim.

Hoping to meet you in person, I thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Dana Danube
