<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Library Director – Library Center of the Ozarks (MO)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The five-member <a href="https://lcozarks.com/" target="_blank">
Library Center of the Ozarks</a> Board of Trustees seeks an innovative and proven community-building leader as its next Library Director. In 2023, voters in the county’s subdistrict approved a tax levy to transition the 90-year-old privately funded Taneyhills
Library to the newly-established Library Center of the Ozarks—the district’s first publicly-funded community library. The Library Center of the Ozarks currently operates a standalone 18,561 square foot location with a cohesive team of 11 full-time equivalents,
serving the residents of the Branson and Hollister school subdistricts. This is a unique opportunity to continue growing a newer public library system from the ground up—building the team and cultivating community relationships. The new Library Director will
be a connector, consensus builder, and communicator, capable of translating the value and vision of the library’s future as a vibrant community asset, with the potential for library service expansion in the region. Key initiatives include bolstering community
partnerships, creating an inaugural strategic plan, and leading planning for new facilities that will adequately address the needs of a growing and diverse population.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Branson and Hollister, Missouri, sit in the heart of the Ozarks, just to the south of Springfield and offers a unique blend of opportunity, charm, and natural beauty. Branson is vibrant and lively, known for its family-friendly entertainment,
dining, and access to stunning lakes and outdoor recreation, all surrounded by the rolling Ozark Hills. Just minutes away, Hollister provides a quieter, small-town atmosphere with strong schools, a close-knit community, and historic character, while still
giving residents easy access to Branson’s amenities, including the world-class theme park of Silver Dollar City and the enduringly breathtaking Big Cedar Lodge. Together, the two towns create a balance—whether you enjoy the energy of a bustling tourism hub
or the peace of a slower-paced neighborhood, you’ll find both within reach, making the area a welcoming place to live, work, and enjoy life.<o:p></o:p></p>

proper communication of library happenings to staff and community; and collaboratively consult with the board, the staff, and key stakeholders in planning for the library’s future. This individual will file reports as required by the Missouri State Library
for library certification and compliance; oversee the facilities' maintenance and repair; promote the Library of the Ozarks to community organizations, business partners, county commissioners, local government officials, the Missouri State Library, and professional
