<h3>About the State Library of Oregon<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <a href="https://www.oregon.gov/library/">State Library of Oregon</a>, headquartered in Salem, plays a vital role in state government. It is an independent state agency governed by a nine-member Library Board appointed by the Governor
 under ORS 357. The mission of the State Library is to cultivate, preserve, and deliver library and information services to foster lifelong learning and community engagement. The agency operates on a biennial budget of approximately $19 million, with about
 40 FTE employees.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The State Library consists of four divisions. Government Information and Library Services provides quality information services to assist state employees in the efficient performance of their jobs and in more effective decision-making for
 state government. Library Support and Development Services provides leadership, grants, and other assistance to improve library service for all people in Oregon. Operations provides the agency’s administrative management functions such as board support, financial
 management, facilities management, volunteer management, information technology management, communications, and other administrative support services. The Oregon Talking Book and Braille Library is a free library for any person in Oregon with a print disability,
 which includes visual, physical, and reading impairments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The person in this position will work as part of the State Library’s
<a href="https://www.oregon.gov/library/libraries/">Library Support and Development Services division</a>, which provides grants, consulting, leadership, and services to Oregon’s 1,600 academic, public, school, special, and tribal libraries. The Library Support
 team provides planning for statewide library development; consulting on a variety of library issues; continuing education services for local library staff, patrons, and government officials; and administers all state and federal library grant programs made
 available by the agency. The division is primarily funded by the federal <a href="https://www.imls.gov/grants/grants-state/purposes-and-priorities-lsta">
Library Services and Technology Act</a>, as is the position.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism work are essential to Library Support’s mission. Systemic barriers often result in poorer library service for communities of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, rural residents, immigrants, people with
 disabilities, and others. Libraries in Oregon are working to ensure that everyone in their increasingly diverse communities feel welcomed, and the Library Support division aims to assist in those efforts. That’s why one of Library Support’s

current priorities and objectives</a> focuses on helping Oregon libraries break down systemic barriers. Other priorities and objectives include assisting libraries to close the digital divide; supporting students, youth, and lifelong learners; building relationships
 to foster community; and giving libraries the training and resources they need.<o:p></o:p></p>
