Librarian at the Grand Canyon



This isn't in California, but what a cool job.  :)

Area Information: This position is stationed at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park located in Northwest Arizona, approximately 60 miles north of Williams and 85 miles Northwest of Flagstaff at an elevation of 7,000 feet.  Temperatures range from approximately 85 degrees in the summer to 17 degrees in the winter.  Grand Canyon Village has schools K-12, a daycare center, post office, general store, banking facilities, churches, a recreation center, a clinic with resident physicians and several restaurants.  The park community consists of some 2,000 people, including employees of the NPS and concessionaires and their family members.  There are often employment opportunities for family members in the park and surrounding areas.
