The Texarkana Public Library (TX) seeks a leader with the initiative to try new things and lead the library into the future.

A burgeoning downtown, vibrant art scene, and beautiful weather make Texarkana an exciting place to call home. Residents also enjoy proximity to Dallas (TX), Houston (TX), New Orleans (LA), Little Rock (AR), and everything the gulf coast has to offer.
