library curator

A library curator (French: conservateur des bibliothèques) is a senior civil servant in the French civil service, responsible for the management and supervision of state or local government libraries. This corps (or cadre d'emplois in the case of local government) comprises two grades: "curator" (conservateur) and "chief curator" (conservateur en chef). State curators can be promoted to a higher corps as a general library curator (conservateur général des bibliothèques) within the state civil service.
