RESOURCES MANAGER, GREENWICH (CT) LIBRARY
Would you like to call Greenwich Library “My Library” and Greenwich, CT “Your Community?” Greenwich Library seeks a Resources Manager who is committed to maintaining collections that “provide the community with a window to the past and a view to the future.” The successful candidate will be knowledgeable, passionate and engaged about the role libraries play in individual lives and the community—and will share that expertise and enthusiasm as a member of the Library’s leadership team providing strategic direction for the library’s print and non-print/digital collections. In addition to expanding current collections, the resources manager will also integrate emerging media into the collections, develop enhanced discoverability, understand and promote the vitality of local collections and know best practices for content creation.
Greenwich Library, a “community treasure,” is committed to both its local and global community. Library Journal’s five star Library, through its ambitious new strategic plan, “Connecting Our Community,” serves 62,755 residents through its Main library (104,000 s/f) and two branch libraries. A dedicated staff of 157 (93 FTE), a collection of nearly half a million items and a $9.2 million annual budget from public and private sources enable the Library to circulate 1.4 million items and host 745,000 visitors.
Founded in 1640, Greenwich is known as the Gateway to New England. A town of neighborhoods, Greenwich is listed as one of the top 100 places to live in the United States (CNN and Money Magazine). Just 38 miles from Manhattan and easily accessible on the Metro-North Rail Line, it is known for its hedge fund industry, public and private school system and health care. Ethnic and cultural and economic diversity are noteworthy; 24% of the population speaks a language other than English in their homes. Greenwich’s recreational amenities include beaches, a symphony, and an active arts council. Located in Fairfield County, Greenwich successfully combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with the friendliness of a small New England town. Additional information on the Library and the community can be found at Greenwich Links.
