Key responsibilities of the Library’s Director include but are not limited to; overseeing day-to-day operations; curating and maintaining our library collection; developing and executing strategic initiatives; program planning and implementation; financial management; grounds and facilities management; the management of human resources; collaborating closely with our Trustees; and building partnerships with local organizations. Applicants will receive the full job description.
Desirable qualifications include a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in library science or a related field (or equivalent experience). We are hoping to connect with someone with at least 3 years of hands-on experience in libraries, proven supervisory or managerial skills, a knack for small community library operations, and a solid understanding of library systems and technology.
