<b><span style="color:black">Library Director – Lincoln City Libraries (NE)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;background:white">
<span style="color:black">The City of Lincoln, Nebraska seeks a passionate leader to become the next Director of <a href="https://lincolnlibraries.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2E6467">Lincoln City Libraries</span></a>. The Libraries serve the
City of Lincoln and Lancaster County from eight locations and a bookmobile and operate with a $12 million budget. The seven-member board of trustees is appointed by the Lincoln City Council and is committed to ensuring the Libraries provide literacy, learning,
and literature to residents. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to innovative library services, champion the right to read, understand how to effectively and equitably engage a community, and be an active listener for and skilled developer of
staff. The Libraries’ revenues come primarily from the City, with additional funds generated through the County, gaming revenue, and support from the state. They are also supported by the Foundation for Lincoln City Libraries, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization
that plays a crucial role in ensuring the Libraries remain the crown jewels of the community. Key initiatives include overseeing the new central library project; maintaining and strengthening diplomatic ties with the city and community; moving the library’s
equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts forward, and identifying ways to increase the public’s awareness of how the Libraries can improve their lives. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:black">As the state capital of Nebraska and home to the flagship campus of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln is a dynamic community of over 290,000 residents. Our 134 miles of biking, hiking, and walking trails, 133 parks, outstanding
public schools, a world-class children’s museum, and an award-winning children’s zoo offer a high quality of life and a great place to raise a family. With no competing municipalities, a single school district, and sole supervision of our utilities, Lincoln
provides high-quality opportunities for all residents wherever they live. The city has significantly lower commute times than those of similarly sized cities and boasts vibrant, active neighborhood associations in all areas of the community. Recognized nationally
as a smart gigabit city following the development of competitive high-speed internet available to every home and business, Lincoln is at the forefront of technology growth and expansion. Lincoln receives accolades for its affordability, livability, and overall
happiness for people of all ages, having been named the top city in the country for young professionals and the best place to retire, as well as one of the best-run cities in the U.S. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
