Akron-Summit County Public Library's Deputy Director recently earned a promotion to become our Executive Director🎉, and the Library now seeks a new Deputy Director<https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=1f7495f2-48fb-452e-a947-43b68ffc0024&ccId=19000101_000001&type=JS&lang=en_US&selectedMenuKey=CareerCenter&jobId=566506> to support our Mission Statement to provide resources for learning and leisure, information services, meeting spaces, and programs for all ages that support, improve, and enrich individual, family, and community life.

The Deputy Director assists the Executive Director and performs a variety of administrative duties related to public services and other supporting departments and functions.  The role oversees a large portion of the Library's day-to-day operations, supervising the leaders of the Adult Services, Collection Development, Security & Safety, Technical Services, Youth Services, and Public Services (Main Library, 18 branches, and Mobile Services) agencies.  The role regularly works cross-functionally to cultivate effective relationships with employees at all levels of the organization, the Board of Trustees, and those outside the organization, such as vendors.

A vital goal will be collaborating with the Facilities Services Director in helping to lead ASCPL in $160 million of necessary capital projects to meet current and future programmatic needs (as outlined in the 2025 Feasibility Study<https://www.akronlibrary.org/images/pdf/ASCPL%20Feasibility%20Study%20Final_opt.pdf>) while also supporting staff to be resilient as libraries continue to evolve in how they operate to meet community needs.
