Hey, let's be frank. As
an MLS graduate, your skills are in demand.
Yes, you're special. But so are we.
"I've had unique opportunities for career
enrichment here - a chance to work with Hispanic people, which
I wanted, and a real variety of jobs." - Lisa
Murillo (below, left), Outreach Librarian.
"I'm rewarded
for my creativity in planning outreach programs," says
Branch Manager Pilar Castro-Reino (above, right), "and
I really get to use my bilingual skills."
Branch Manager Derek Wolfgram
(above) has been
promoted twice in his six-year career.

What else can you do with that time off? Plenty!
You're in Denver, where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the
skies are almost never cloudy. In fact, we boast more than 300 days
of sunshine a year!
"Denver has just about
everything,"
says Outreach Librarian Lisa Murillo. "Now
all we need is a beach."
What's more, Denver claims...
- The rank of America's most educated city, with the most college
graduates per capita
- Distinction as America's best place to raise a family (Child magazine, 2001)
- A vibrant downtown with three major sports stadiums, a topnotch
performing arts center, museums, amusement parks and more than 150
restaurants and nightspots
- The rating of #1 sports town in the U.S., with four major teams
- The nation's largest park system - 200 city parks and 450 miles
of bike and jogging paths
- And that's just city life. The Rocky Mountains beckon with four-season
outdoor fun - awesome scenery, world-class skiing, backpacking,
biking, rock climbing, camping, boating, horseback riding, plain
old relaxation and much more - all within 90 minutes of Denver.
Getting the word out at a recent
outreach event are (above, left to right) customer and frequent volunteer
Monica Kadillak, Branch Manager Cori Jackamore and (far right) Reference
Librarian Joan Harms.
"I came to Denver because
I read it was one of America's top cities for Blacks," says Reference
Librarian Danny Walker (above with wife Lutricia and daughter Eshe).
"The weather is great here, and because I like sports so much,
having a professional team in all the major sports makes this
city that much more enjoyable."
How to Apply
"Library staff with initiative
have lots of opportunities to use it," says Senior
Reference Librarian Jennifer Hoffman (above), a Denver
native whose interests include Victorian architecture
and antiques.
