Danville Area School District is looking for a K-2 librarian.  This is a

new position -- making a total of four school librarians in our district --

and the position is being created for our brand new primary center that

will open its doors in August, 2011.  Our school board approved this as a

permanent position last night.

 

Danville is a small town located about 60 miles north of Harrisburg on

Interstate 80.  It is the home of Geisinger, a major regional medial center

and a Merck pharmaceutical plant.  There are about 180 students in each

grade.

 

This is a great opportunity for the right school librarian to really make

an impact on a school culture.  The position includes responsibilities for

gifted support of a small number of identified gifted students and ideally

involves supporting the faculty as they use the new technology that will be

available in the new building.  There is good cooperation between school

librarians K-12 and a very supportive Special Education Director who will

oversee the gifted support duties.

 

The official advertisement is reprinted below.  It is a tribute to the

importance placed on school libraries by our district that when we are

cutting other positions - we are adding a new librarian position.

To date we have only received applications from 2 certified school librarians for this new position at Danville. I am re-posting the message that I sent 10 days ago in hope that you will pass along this information to people looking for school library jobs. If you have contacts in other states -- please pass this job positing on to them. It would be sad if this new position -- probably one of the few new positions in the state -- did not have a number of great applicants:
