Mr. Ronnie Dyer,
Personnel Director
Little Rock University Library
55 Student Way
Little Rock, AR 33455

Dear Mr. Dyer:

I recently came across your advertisement on jobsinar.com seeking a librarian for your student library, and would like the chance to apply now with avid interest. To this end, I have enclosed my resume.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Library Science, and am looking to develop my knowledge of the library system in this position of librarian. I am confident I could successfully stock shelves, attend to managerial duties, schedule literacy programs, work on displays, and anything else the position might require or be amplified by.

Would it be possible to schedule a time in the next two weeks to talk? I would love the opportunity to learn more about your institution, as well as tell you more details about my background and what I can bring to the library. Please feel free to contact me at 222-222-2222 to arrange a time. Until then, I thank you for your time; and look forward to speaking with you further.


Sincerely,

Lucy R. Stanley
