Dear Sir/Madam, 

I am excited to apply for the position of Library Officer. I have been in the Early Childhood Field for 28 years and currently working as a Curriculum Specialist. I have worked with children aged 2 months to 6 years old in my previous roles as an Early Childhood Educator and Centre Principal. I believe I have the skills and qualifications necessary to excel in this position.

I am particularly drawn to NLB as I have a long-lasting love affair with books and am a bookworm. As a child, I used to visit the library every weekend and that's where how my love for reading started. During my years as an educator, I have thoroughly enjoyed telling stories to children, not only with books but without them as well. 

I am a committed team player with a positive attitude and effective PR skills. I can build a good rapport with the people I communicate with and take on new challenges. 

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further and to learn more about the Library Officer role at NLB. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require further information.

Yours sincerely, 

Uma Veeraya
