Library Director – Flower Mound Public Library (TX)

The Town of Flower Mound seeks a dynamic and talented leader to become the next Director of Library Services of the Flower Mound Public Library (TX). Reporting to the Assistant Town Manager and working alongside the Cultural Arts Commission, the director is responsible for a $2.2 million budget, a single 40,000 square-foot building, and 23.5 FTE of staff. The library has earned The Texas Municipal Library Director’s Association Achievement of Excellence Award for the past nineteen years and offers patrons a place to explore their creativity through the Creation Lab makerspace. With a supportive city government, growing population, and an experienced staff, the new director will be well positioned to make an impact right away. Key initiatives include the analysis of a growing service area, fully utilizing a recently renovated and expanded building, exploration of RFID tagging and smart returns, and completion of the 2024 strategic plan. 

Flower Mound has maintained its small-town charm by preserving green spaces like The Flower Mound and Heritage Park, which provide public art displays, and special events. The town provides many educational and recreational programming options at its Community Activity Center where membership is no cost to town employees. Residents enjoy access to premier entertainment options, dining destinations, and a plethora of shopping opportunities like the Grapevine Mills Mall. For those seeking an enriching cultural experience, Flower Mound offers plenty of entertainment options, including live musical performances, farmers markets, outdoor movie screenings, and 4th of July events. Flower Mound is just minutes away from world-famous attractions like Six Flags Over Texas, the Fort Worth Zoo, and The Fort Worth Stockyards. With its proximity to two major international airports, travel to and from Flower Mound couldn’t be easier and it’s no wonder that Flower Mound is one of the most desirable places to call home in the Lone Star State.
