MORE IDEAS:
Subscribe to libjobs (http://infoserv.inist.fr/wwsympa.fcgi/info/libjobs) - mostly jobs in the US, but overseas stuff pops up regularly.
Once you've got some experience, or if you have a teaching credential, there are int'l school headhunters looking for teachers/librarians to staff the zillions of int'l school jobs (much more of these than at universities, btw). Places to get started:
http://search-associates.com/main.html
http://www.iss.edu/edustaff/jobs.html
http://tieonline.com/
Be aware that most of these you have to apply for (and join & sometimes pay a fee). A credential + 2 yrs experience is required 99% of the time.
Finally, for more int'l school-type work (K-12), the US Gov't Office of Overseas Schools keeps a list of international schools all over the world where US citizens can send their children:
