We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive information.
We need to parse the posting for content.
Let's extract sections:
- About the role: description of position: "Under general direction, manages, organizes, coordinates, and evaluates all aspects of a full-service library branch; and performs related work as required." Also description of assignment area: Downtown Reno Library details. Could be "About the role" includes that.
- Responsibilities: maybe list of duties: managing branch, coordinating, evaluating, leading staff, building relationships, managing facility, supporting programs, etc. We need to extract bullet points.
- Requirements / Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: three years professional library experience AND master's degree in library science from ALA accredited; OR five years experience AND master's in any discipline; OR equivalent combo. Also License: valid driver's license required. Also Conditions of Employment: background check, residency requirement, etc. Those could be under Requirements or Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe from Ideal Candidate criteria: experienced adaptable leader, balance public service with operational leadership, welcoming environment, leading staff serving diverse community, empathy, judgment, consistency, boundaries, confident communicator, collaborative partner, building relationships, managing complex facility, supporting high-profile programs, leading staff through day-to-day challenges, recognizing library as community resource, creativity, stewardship, public service.
- Benefits: The posting mentions Total Compensation Package includes county paid employee health benefits after 30 days, county paid retirement benefits, vacation accruals, etc. Also mention of salary: "Washoe County hires all new employees at the minimum rate of the salary range and eligible employees may receive an annual merit increase of 5% until they reach the maximum salary for the classification." That's pay info. Also mention of background check fee after Oct 1 2026. But Benefits section should include health, retirement, vacation accruals. Pay section: mention salary range? Not given specific numbers, just mention minimum rate and merit increase. That's still pay info. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits (health, retirement, vacation). It also states pay info (minimum rate, merit increase). So we can include Pay and Benefits sections.
- Schedule: Not mentioned (full-time vacancy). It says full-time vacancy. Could infer schedule full-time but not explicit schedule details. The instruction: do not create Schedule unless posting actually states them. It says full-time vacancy but not schedule details like hours. Might be considered schedule info? Probably not enough to create Schedule section. Safer to omit Schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, veteran points, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: e.g., "Under general direction, manages, organizes, coordinates, and evaluates all aspects of a full-service library branch; and performs related work as required." Keep that sentence.
Also details about Downtown Reno Library: iconic midcentury modern building, opened 1966, interior garden spaces, serves broad cross-section, location heart of downtown, partnerships, administrative offices, large auditorium, etc.

About the role
Under general direction, manages, organizes, coordinates, and evaluates all aspects of a full-service library branch; and performs related work as required.
The Downtown Reno Library is an iconic midcentury modern building located in Reno's downtown Riverwalk District. Opened in 1966, the library is renowned for its dramatic interior garden spaces, which integrate plants, trees, water, and natural light throughout the multilevel building and make it one of the most distinctive public library spaces in the region. As a major urban branch, the Downtown Reno Library serves a broad cross-section of the community, from families, students, professionals, and visitors to individuals experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable populations. Its location in the heart of downtown creates opportunities for strong partnerships and community engagement while also requiring thoughtful, responsive management of the complex issues facing an urban public library. The Downtown Reno Library is also home to the Washoe County Library System's administrative offices, making the branch a hub for both public service and systemwide operations. The building features a large auditorium that supports library programs, community meetings, performances, presentations, and special events.

Maybe also include Conditions of Employment under Qualifications or separate? Could be under Qualifications as well: background check, residency requirement, etc. But we might create a separate section "Requirements" for those. However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we have both Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide what goes where.
Typically Requirements could be license, background check, residency, etc. Qualifications could be education/experience. Let's allocate:

- Valid driver’s license required at time of appointment and must be maintained.

We should not include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. We haven't.

We captured benefits and pay (annual earnings based on entry level salary). We didn't explicitly mention that the Total Compensation Package outlines annual earnings based on entry level salary. Could add to Pay section: "The Total Compensation Package outlines the various benefits offered by Washoe County and the annual earnings based on the entry level salary for the job classification." Might be good to include.

It's about the recruitment process. Might be considered not substantive for the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This is about recruitment process; maybe not essential. But it's substantive info about the position being open competitive and list may be used for future vacancies. Could be considered part of "About the role" or maybe a separate section? The instruction says to include sections only when posting has real specific content. This is specific content about the recruitment type. Could be included under About the role as a sentence.
- "Area of Assignment - Downtown Reno Library" we covered.
- "For more information on this position, please see the Job Specification at https://..." that's a link; maybe we could keep as a link? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The link is substantive. Should we include
