Dear Sir/Madam,

Application for the role of Librarian

I would like to apply for the role of Librarian that you have got advertised in (what publication, when and any job reference).

I have always had a keen interest in books since an early age and combined with my exceptionally organised nature I have always wanted to work in a library surrounded by books and helping to guide people to books that they are looking for or they made the need for research purposes.

I have had some experience of working in a local book shop and I have enjoyed seeing the variety of books coming in and out of the store and I feel that I have gained good customer service experience due to my time there.

I am now seeking a more book focused role rather than a selling aspect and feel that I would work well in a library. I am hardworking, organised and dedicated to my work.

I have enclosed a copy of my CV for you to look through. Should you be interested in my skills please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and CV and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

NAME SURNAME

Good luck.
