<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Executive Director – Northland Public Library (PA)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://www.northlandlibrary.org/">Northland Public Library</a> (PA) Board of Directors is seeking a communicative and collaborative leader to become the next Executive Director. Reporting to an Authority Board of Directors representing
five separate supporting municipalities, this individual will be a consensus builder, library advocate, and will present visionary executive functions while maintaining a strong presence and understanding of the day-to-day operations of a single 35,600 square
foot location. With a large and talented staff of 48.02 FTE, the library circulates more physical items than any other Library in Allegheny County, eclipsing 1 million items in 2024.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Executive Director will lead Northland Public Library into the next era of community-driven success as it continues to grow and support the region. Northland Public Library was certified as a KultureCity Sensory Inclusive Venue in 2025
through a grant from the Allegheny County Library Association and has been awarded other state and local grants to provide funding support for a major building renovation and upgrades. The library serves both North Allegheny and North Hills school districts,
and benefits from the support of an established and re-energized Library Foundation. Key initiatives in the Executive Director role will include continuation and completion of the organization’s strategic plan, maintaining the library’s active participation
in the <a href="https://aclalibraries.org/" target="_blank">Allegheny County Library Association</a>, implementation of programming and library service opportunities in a new physical space, and forging new partnerships through engagement at the local, county,
and state levels.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Northland Public Library is in a northern suburb of Pittsburgh, surrounded by strong school districts, well-established neighborhoods, and extensive park systems, with convenient access to the city center. The city of Pittsburgh itself
is situated at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio Rivers and has evolved from its industrial roots into a center for education, healthcare, technology, and the arts. The city’s cultural and historical legacy—shaped by leaders such as Rachel
Carson, Andrew Carnegie, Rebecca Lukens, George Westinghouse, and Andrew Mellon—continues to influence its civic identity. Residents and visitors enjoy professional sports, diverse dining and shopping, and a thriving arts community anchored by the Cultural
District, home to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, multiple theaters, and renowned museums including The Mattress Factory, the Andy Warhol Museum, and the Carnegie Museum of Art. Pittsburgh’s distinctive skyline, historic bridges, and the Duquesne Incline
highlight the city’s character and enduring appeal.<o:p></o:p></p>
