As a previous Library Work Study, I highly recommend this position to new professionals, especially those interested in engaging with a unique and canonical collection of artists' books. Living and working in Banff is also pretty spectacular, as is the opportunity to experience all that a renowned international art centre has to offer. I encourage interested parties to apply and/or share this call widely.
