Dear [MR/MS] [RECIPIENT’S NAME], 

I heard from one of the professors of [Oak Ridge University] that you are currently looking for a new Academic Librarian. Upon hearing that, I hastened to send you my resume. As an accomplished and highly-experienced librarian of over [eight years], I believe that I can significantly contribute to the goals and objectives of [Oak Ridge University].

Growing up, I have always been fond of books because they allow me to experience the things that I cannot afford to have. My love and connection with books allowed me to graduate and earn my [bachelor’s degree in library science]. For having been a librarian at the [St. John College Library] for [eight years], I have managed to ensure the usability and functionality of the establishment. I am adept at collecting and cataloging library resources and overseeing the overall library operations. Throughout my career, I have assisted and educated library patrons in acquiring the information and materials they need. As a librarian and a book lover, it is my pride and honor to witness students using library resources to help them with their studies or research. 

Attached to this letter is my resume for you to review. With my professional experience and well-rounded skill set, along with my dedication and a love for books, I am confident that I can provide you and your clientele with the best quality service possible. I look forward to meeting you in person to further discuss my qualifications and the details regarding my application. Please contact me anytime at your convenience.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,
