Wesleyan University is currently searching for a new Conservation & Book Arts Librarianhttps://careers.wesleyan.edu/postings/10365.  We are looking for someone to oversee the library's conservation and preservation activities through the managing of our book conservation lab. Additionally, they will work to build upon the existing foundations we have of working with faculty, classes, and students on creating class sessions and learning opportunities related to book construction and other book arts topics. They will work within a newly formed Unique Collections department where they'll get to work closely with other collections' managers that range from special collections, university archives, ethnographic collections, and world music collections.

Wesleyan University is a small liberal arts school located in Middletown, CT. The library is a wonderful place to work. We have a supportive culture among staff, and our students and faculty are a joy to work with. They're independent-minded, questioning, and devoted learners. If you know of someone with a background in conservation or book arts who is thinking about career options, this may be a path for them to consider. I would be happy to talk with anyone who wants to know more about the position or university.

For full consideration, please apply by April 18, 2024 when review of applications will begin. For the full listing and application process, please visit: https://careers.wesleyan.edu/postings/10365

Kind regards,
Amanda
