<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b>Youth & Outreach Services Manager – Laramie County Library System (WY)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><a href="https://lclsonline.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2E6467">Laramie County Library System (LCLS)</span></a> is looking for an outgoing and dedicated person to serve as their Youth & Outreach
Services Manager. LCLS is an award-winning library system that sets the bar for service regionally and nationally. Named the Library of the Year by Gale/Library Journal in 2008, Nancy Pearl told USA Today that Laramie County Library System was one of the top
ten libraries in the country to “find a nook and read a book.” Livablity.com and mommynearest.com named LCLS as one of the top ten children’s libraries in the United States. Employees and volunteers are often recognized with regional and national awards.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">The population served is 102,266 in the county with around 65,061 in the Greater Cheyenne Area. The talented and experienced 76 staff members serve over 72,000 registered users with an annual budget of $10.5 million
with a collection size of over 425,000 items via three locations (Cheyenne, Burns, and Pine Bluffs) and a very popular bookmobile. In 2021, voters passed a specific purpose tax to replace the 16-year-old vehicle currently in use and it is estimated that a
new vehicle will be acquired by FY2025. Other major projects in the next two years include adding a home visit specialist to the First Steps outreach program, installing interactive reading readiness interactives in the library in Cheyenne and in businesses
in the community, coordinating another StoryWalk® installation, and managing an increase in funding for events from a major bequest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">LCLS is a member of a statewide consortium with a shared catalog among all 23 public library systems, all community college libraries, and several special libraries in the state of Wyoming. LCLS is financially
supported through property taxes, auto license fees, and a portion of the county’s one-cent sales tax. LCLS is fortunate enough to be supported through the Laramie County Library Foundation, which is a nonprofit organization engaging in fundraising efforts
on behalf of the library.<o:p></o:p></p>
