Responsibilities: The Library Director’s responsibilities include but are not limited to the hiring, reviewing, and releasing of staff; coordinating regular staff meetings; supervising the development of the library’s collections and programs; overseeing the maintenance of the library facilities and technology; planning and implementing an annual budget for submission to the library board; developing and implementing of long-range plans; supervising the completion of any necessary government reports; representing the library in local and regional community forums; and serve as an appointed member of the Library Foundation Board of Directors.

ABOUT NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Through a grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation, New-York Historical will make these Museum and Library collections more accessible to the public via digitization, enhanced cataloging, and improvements to online catalogs that will provide a more comprehensive picture of Long Island’s history. The Library recently completed the first phase of the project, to digitize 100 broadsides, 100 maps, and over 12,500 pages of manuscripts, and now seeks to create or enhance catalog records and finding aids for these materials and create item-level metadata for the digital images for ingest into a future Long Island collection in the Shelby White & Leon Levy Digital Library.

The Flint Public Library (MI) Board of Trustees seeks an innovative, daring, and thoughtful individual as its next Executive Director. A 2019 IMLS National Medal finalist, FPL is working to transform its community through a completely renovated 90,000 square-foot Main Library and its dedicated staff of 32.2 FTE. The renovated library re-opened in May 2022 with double the children’s learning and digital learning spaces, two-thirds more room in the award-winning Local History & Genealogy collection, and 19 technology-rich meeting rooms of various sizes that are available to the public. Approximately 40% of the renovation was funded through a bond issue, with the remaining 60% covered by philanthropy. Once the bond is paid off, the library will be debt-free. The library’s $4.4 million budget is generated primarily through two 2-mill property taxes – one in perpetuity and the other set to be renewed in 2031. Programming is tied closely to three strategic priorities, chosen to complement but not duplicate the work of other community organizations. Key initiatives include establishing a new strategic plan; reconnecting the library with the community after the pandemic and closure from library renovations; committing to seeing through the equity, diversity, and inclusion goals of the organization, and ensuring the library has a highly effective and passionate workforce.

This unique campus houses a group of nationally recognized cultural institutions aimed at furthering the arts, sciences, and humanities. In addition to the library, it is home to the Flint Institute of Arts, Flint Institute of Music, Flint Repertory Theatre, Sloan Museum of Discovery, and the Flint Cultural Center Academy. The University of Michigan-Flint, Mott Community College, and Kettering University serve as academic anchors for higher education. Flint residents are known for their indomitable spirit, grassroots initiatives, and collaborative approach to community needs.
Responsibilities: The Executive Director is responsible for planning, organizing, directing, monitoring, and evaluating library operations and activities. They support and promote the library’s mission to become Flint’s go-to place to learn for life. Additional responsibilities include but are not limited to assisting the board in developing, evaluating, and implementing library policies; ensuring adequate staffing levels, supervision, and performance management project; formulating immediate and long-range plans covering major aspects of library operation; ensuring the financial well-being of the library; serving as the principal spokesperson and advocate for the library; and overseeing and evaluating a broad range of creative and innovative programs which engage a diverse community.
Qualifications: Minimum qualifications include a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, a master’s degree in library and Information Science from an ALA-accredited program, and at least five (5) years of senior management experience in a complex library system required. The ideal candidate will be an active listener, participatory collaborator, engaging speaker, champion of intellectual freedom, and consensus builder.
