[OPLINLIST] Muskegon Area (MI) District Library seeks a Library Director

[Karen E Miller]

Hello all, 

 

The Board of Trustees of the Muskegon Area District Library are searching
for their next Library Director. This is a great opportunity, especially for
an experienced director or a seasoned administrator with experience in a
multi-branch system.  They are in search of an innovative and experienced
leader to implement an exciting vision for the library and its many
constituencies. 

 

Located on West Michigan's Lakeshore area, the library is headquartered in
Muskegon County and serves the 119,450 residents in 21 municipalities and
townships. Governed by an eight-member Board of Trustees, the 10 library
locations provide excellent services and programs with 50 staff (30.13 FTEs)
and a $3 million annual budget. The Library is anticipating a levy renewal
campaign to take place as early as 2015 and has a major capital campaign in
progress.  MADL shares a catalog, resources and delivery system with other
members of the Lakeland Library Cooperative.  See the complete job
announcement at http://www.gossagesager.com/madlad.htm. 

 

The Muskegon area is a great place to live-it is a popular tourist
destination with beautiful beaches, parks and lakes-plus a thriving downtown
with many cultural amenities.  Minimum qualifications include a Master's
Degree in Library Science from an ALA-accredited program; five or more years
of progressively responsible experience in the library field, including four
years in an administrative position; and the ability to obtain and retain
Michigan Certification Level 1. Success reporting to a governing board,
experience with millage campaigns and experience working in a union
environment-while not required-would be beneficial experience for a
candidate to bring to the position.  The starting salary range is $78,000
-$90,000 (with placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with
an attractive benefits package. The position closes October 12.

 

Thanks for considering this opportunity and/or passing it along to
colleagues you think might be interested.  

 

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the OLC Convention and Expo in a
few weeks!   

 

Karen
