Last time we advertised for a part-time Librarian on the Long Island Library Conference website, I received a number of responses by email. One cover letter was from a librarian with 7 years of library experience who listed attributes I thought would make her a strong candidate for the job. She said in her letter that a position at the POB Library was very appealing to her. Great, I thought, she must know the library! You can imagine my surprise when I opened up her resume and saw that she was writing from London, England. Wow, that would be quite a commute!
