<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Director – Durango Public Library (CO)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The City of Durango seeks a collaborative team-builder as the next Director of the </span><span style="color:black"><a href="https://www.durangogov.org/1451/Library"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#2E6467">Durango
Public Library</span></a></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> (CO). Serving the 19,000+ residents of Durango from a 42,800-square-foot LEED Gold Certified building with a $2.8 million budget generated by a local joint sales tax, the new Director
will have the opportunity to help write the library’s next chapter and demonstrate how a modern, nimble library is a vital resource for the community. The ideal candidate will lead a staff of 21 FTE with a light-hearted approach that motivates staff; a commitment
to being embedded in the community; and the ability to listen to diverse perspectives and foster programs and services that are reflective of Durango’s diverse community. Key initiatives and opportunities include hiring a new Assistant Director, shaping library
services post-COVID, leveraging relationships with surrounding library districts, maintaining a beautiful facility in an idyllic setting, developing a dynamic library culture, and being a part of the discussion exploring a shift of the library to a district
model.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Situated on the scenic Animas Valley and River in Southwestern Colorado, Durango is a full-service city with caring, educated, and creative residents
who embrace inclusive thinking and are open to worldly conversations. As a picturesque example of high desert geography, Durango’s natural beauty invites outdoor recreation 365 days a year. The area is home to multiple parks and trails like Mesa Verde National
Park – a World Heritage site. The city is committed to keeping things local with a majority of its restaurants, stores, and boutiques being independently-owned and having more restaurants per capita than San Francisco! With its own Creative Arts District,
artistic entrepreneurs are supported and provide a spark of energy and innovation that fuels organizations, activities, and events for the whole community. In the unlikely event, you have explored everything in Durango, it will be easy to travel elsewhere
from the Durango-La Plata County Airport or just a day’s drive from Phoenix, Denver, and Albuquerque. Durango values education and provides opportunities for lifelong learning through the Durango School District, Southwest Colorado Community College, or Fort
Lewis College. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
