<b><span style="color:black">County Librarian – Laramie County Library System (WY)<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 </span><span style="color:black"><a href="https://lclsonline.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2E6467">Laramie County Library System (WY)</span></a></span><span style="color:black"> seeks a confident leader and dynamic
professional as its next County Librarian. LCLS<b> </b>is an award-winning library system that sets the bar for service regionally and nationally due in part to the strong support of the County Commission and other County organizations. 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.” Livability.com and mommynearest.com named LCLS as one of the top ten children’s
libraries in the United States. Employees enjoy a supportive work culture that invests in their growth. The population served is 102,266 in the county with around 65,061 in the Greater Cheyenne Area. The talented and experienced staff (61.68 FTE) serve over
72,000 registered users with an annual budget of $10.5 million and a 425,000-item collection across three locations (Cheyenne, Burns, and Pine Bluffs) along with a very popular bookmobile. In 2021, voters passed a specific purpose tax to replace the 16-year-old
vehicle currently in use with a new vehicle which is expected to roll out in FY2025. LCLS operates in a strong philanthropic environment and is financially supported through property taxes, auto license fees, a portion of the county’s one-cent sales tax, and
the Laramie County Library Foundation, a nonprofit organization that organizes fundraising efforts on behalf of the library. Key initiatives include ongoing assessment of the service area in relation to its branches and growth in the region, determining the
best use of new endowment funds in accordance with their designated purpose, and building an organizational culture that fully activates the talent and creativity of its staff. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;background:white">
<span style="color:black">Located in the Southeastern corner of Wyoming, Cheyenne, and Laramie County serve as the gateway to the West. The most populous city in the state, Cheyenne provides an eclectic mix of amenities, amusements, and an authentic culture
rooted in the gorgeous environment of the Mountain West. A growing region, Laramie County is characterized by open space, pristine natural landscapes, and friendly residents. The F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Laramie County School District #1, and award-winning
Cheyenne Regional Medical Center are some of the largest employers in the area and contribute to the county’s economic stability. The Greater Cheyenne Greenway connects parks and neighborhoods with over 40 miles of outdoor recreation while the Cheyenne Botanic
Gardens provides treasured gardens, educational opportunities, and enrichment year-round. Residents also enjoy a quick 2-hour drive to nearby Denver and the ski slopes of the Rocky Mountains. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
