Based on my search, I was unable to locate the specific Washington state community college library guide for Cosmetology that references both "Guide to Good Hairdressing" by Julie Handley and "Opportunities in Beauty and Modeling Careers" by Susan Wood Gearhart. The search results did not return any community college library guides containing these specific book references together with the detailed librarian contact information requested.
While several Washington state community colleges offer cosmetology programs and maintain library subject guides, including Pierce College, Bates Technical College, and Clover Park Technical College, none of the accessible guides I found contained references to both specified books along with a subject guide librarian's complete profile showing management of exactly 11 subjects [1][2].
Library subject guides typically list recommended resources for students, but the specific combination of elements requested - both book titles, a named librarian contact, their Learning Resource Center designation, phone number, and a precise list of 11 managed subjects - could not be verified through available online sources. This information may be contained in password-protected library systems, archived pages, or internal documentation not publicly accessible through web searches.
To locate this specific guide, direct contact with Washington state community college libraries offering cosmetology programs would be recommended, as they may maintain this information in their internal library management systems or printed materials not indexed by search engines.
