Martha,
This isn't my position, but one in Richmond. The contact person there is listed near the bottom. I expect to have an opening for a Librarian I in the Va. Room in early fall. The change of position has to be approved by the county at first quarter review.
 
Suzanne

Suzanne,

I just re-read my e-mail to you from a few days ago--and realized that I
didn't really say that I would be interested in talking to you more about
this, unless you've already hired someone.  I'll be in transit this
afternoon, to Boston, and will be back here Monday afternoon.

Have a good weekend!

Martha
