The Library Director works to support the vision, mission, and objectives of the library’s Strategic Plan. The Director, like the library, acts as a beacon of welcome and support, inspiring lifelong learning by providing free and open access to a culture of creativity for Peekskill’s diverse and unique population. The Library Director is responsible for the management, strategic planning, and direction of all library operations and services. This role involves overseeing staff, collections, facilities, and programs to ensure the library meets the evolving needs of the community. The Library Director is an advocate for the library within the community, securing resources to support its mission and objectives. The Library Director collaborates with and reports to the Library Board of Trustees. Job Duties The duties of the Library Director stem directly from the library’s Strategic Plan, in the following areas: Community Engagement, Advocacy, and Outreach: Build strategic relationships with community organizations, schools, and individuals supportive of the library’s mission to ensure the library is a primary resource hub for the community. Act as a liaison between the library and the City of Peekskill administration and Common Council, Town of Cortlandt Supervisor and Board, Westchester Library System, and Friends of The Field Library to foster library initiatives. Strategic Management: Manage according to the library’s Strategic Plan and work with the Board of Trustees to guide the library's growth and development in alignment with community needs and goals.

Manage the annual library budget vote, including informing the public about the vote and financial plan. Prepare and submit reports to the Board of Trustees, local and state organizations, and the community. Facilities Management: Ensure that library facilities are well-maintained, welcoming, safe, and accessible to patrons and staff. Develop short and long term plans for renovations and expansions, and work with the Board of Trustees to implement those plans.
