A new city Wellness Center, a longstanding farmer’s market, and a 30-mile paved hike/bike trail system provide opportunities for people to be their healthiest selves.
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.
Qualifications: A minimum of five years of professional (or paraprofessional equivalent) library experience and a master’s degree in library and information Science from an ALA-accredited college or university are required. Applicants who have not met the requirements of the Indiana Library Certification as a Class 1 librarian may be considered if the requirements can be completed within three years of hire. The ideal candidate will possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, serve as a liaison between the Board of Trustees and staff, possess experience bringing an organization together as a team, appreciate experimentation and failure as a healthy part of growth, and experience developing a consistent fundraising process.
Compensation: The hiring salary range is $80,000 – $95,000 (with placement negotiable dependent on experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package.
For further information, contact Bradbury Miller Associates. Apply via email with a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or PDF attachments to Brian C. Hare (brianhare@bradburymiller.com). This position closes on Sunday, April 2, 2023.
