Due to retirement, the Board of Trustees is seeking an accomplished leader
who will continue the nearly 150-year tradition of a positive,
community-centered culture to become the Library’s next Director.  The
Adrian District Library  is an independent governing unit, serving a
population of over 21,000 with an operating budget of nearly $1 million and
a dedicated, enthusiastic staff of 12 (3 with the MLIS degree).  The
community demonstrated their continuing strong support for the Library with
a positive vote for a 10-year operational millage in May 2015.  The Library
building, in the heart of downtown Adrian, underwent a major renovation in
2009, adding 3200 square feet that includes a Teen Zone, a quiet seating
area in the Loft, a Café, and a renovated Tween space in the Youth Services
area.

Adrian is located in southeast Michigan, and is home to Adrian College and
Siena Heights University, as well as a satellite campus of Jackson
College.  Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Toledo are all within an easy drive.
