<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;background:white">
<span style="color:black">The <a href="http://hclib.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2E6467">Hennepin County Library (MN)</span></a> seeks a leader with a combination of confidence and humility, vision and curiosity, and a demonstrated commitment to
equity, diversity, and inclusion as its next Library Director. Consistently rated one of the top public library systems in the country, Hennepin County Library serves 1.3 million residents over 611 square miles, including the city of Minneapolis, through its
41 libraries, outreach services, and website.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;background:white">
<span style="color:black">Hennepin County is the largest county government in Minnesota and the Library is one department within the Resident Services line of business. Hennepin County and its departments have organized themselves strategically around reducing
interconnected disparities that separate our residents who are thriving from those who are not. The Library Director will work closely with other departments to leverage library programs and services to improve life outcomes for all residents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;background:white">

a vibrant arts/theater/music community, easily accessible natural resources, and six professional sports teams. The region is a foodie’s delight with a booming restaurant scene full of James Beard award nominees, including some of the country’s top Black,
Native, Hmong, and Latino/a/x chefs and restauranteurs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
