Senate approves Seattle librarian for federal job

Susan Hildreth, Seattle’s chief librarian, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate Wednesday for a post in the Obama Administration.

Hildreth will be director of the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, a Washington, D.C.-based agency that provides grants to museums and libraries nationwide.

Hildreth became Seattle’s librarian in February of 2009, coming here after serving as the California state librarian in Sacramento. One of her first issues here was dealing with the fallout from the tanking economy, including staff reductions and cutbacks in hours at 15 of the city’s 26 neighborhood library branches.
