Hiring Manager
South Philadelphia Public Library

Dear Ms. Townsend:

I was pleased to see your advertisement for a library technician in this week's Philadelphia Enquirer Employment section for many reasons. I have a solid background of two year’s experience working as a Library Technician, as well as four year’s experience working in a customer service position; and would like to take this opportunity to submit these qualifications along with my professionalism, strong work ethic, and passion for literature for this open position.

I am very comfortable with the responsibilities specified, including organizing various computer and shelving systems, and fielding questions and concerns of patrons to locate the best library resources for their needs. Moreover, I would be able and happy to assist in all duties that were required of me.

I'd be happy to meet with you in person to discuss my experience and this position further if it suits you. You can best reach me at (999)999-9999 to do so. I look forward to the possible opportunity of speaking with you, and joining your library team; and thank you so much for your time and consideration.


Sincerely,

Katie Stenhouse
