This position at the State Library of Oregon is part of the Talking Book and Braille Library<https://www.oregon.gov/library/print-disabilities/Pages/About-Us.aspx> (Talking Books) division.

P.S. I just noticed that we titled this Job Opportunity “Readers Advisor” instead of “Reader Advisor” – so maybe the first applicant who points that out will get points for attention to detail, yeah? 😊
