Creating Community – Unleashing Potential - the New Haven Free Public Library Board of Directors seeks an exceptional leader to help realize the Library’s strategic goals, create community, and unleash the potential of the city and the library at its heart.

The Library Director will work well in a complex environment and be a strong team leader who builds consensus internally and be a passionate advocate who connects the library system externally with a broad mosaic of community stakeholders. The library, with a $5 million annual budget ($4.5 from City appropriations), a strong senior management team and a dedicated staff (52.3 FTEs), provides services and programs through the historic Ives Main Library (on the New Haven Green and adjacent to the Yale campus), four branches and a ReadMobile.

The Library will serve as a powerful catalyst for strong neighborhoods, academic success of every school child, and workforce development. For additional details see NHFPL Strategic Plan 2014-2016.
New Haven is one of America’s most dynamic small cities. The City proper has a population of 130,000. The principal municipality of a metropolitan region on the northern shore of Long Island Sound, it is in close proximity to Boston and New York City, which is accessible by more than 40 daily train connections. New Haven had the largest population growth of any New England city in the 2000-2010 U.S. Census and it has the highest apartment occupancy rate in the nation, with construction of more downtown residential sites underway. Like most communities, New Haven is also home to people with socio-economic challenges – but it has a scale and assets that make connecting residents to opportunity more possible. The local economy has a lot of STEAM – with science, technology, education, arts, and medicine as key drivers. Bioscience is growing, fueled by university research and the presence of Yale-New Haven Hospital, the fifth largest hospital in the U.S. Yale University and five other universities in the region enroll 35,000 students a year. Gateway Community College opened a state-of-the art downtown campus in 2012, three blocks from the main library. New Haven has professional theater, practicing architects, new and classical music concerts, outdoor festivals, and free world-class art museums unmatched by any city of similar size in the country. It also has 376 years of history – seen in its town green and architecture spanning three centuries – and nature is always nearby, with beaches, hiking trails, parks and farms not far from the city center. Such recreational opportunities are beneficial, given that New Haven is also a great restaurant town – from fine dining to the best pizza anywhere. For additional information, visit NHFPL Links.

NEKLS, one of the seven Kansas regional systems, is a multi-type library system and works in partnership with its 118 member libraries providing unique and innovative services. With a $2.8 million annual budget (funded primarily from local property taxes) and 10 FTE system staff, NEKLS serves a 14 county region (more than 40% of Kansas population).

Ranked as one of the top ten best college towns, Lawrence, Kansas (home of the University of KS Jayhawks) offers much more than championship basketball tradition.

I saw this on INALJ a couple of days ago. I have to say living in Juneau sounds interesting. It's would be strange to be cut off from the highway system. You do know that Juneau is accessible only by air and water? I read that when cruise ships arrive the town is overrun by tourists. |
Did anyone see the position in Juneau, Alaska? It was on the OCLC listserv mailer today. I would love to go there!

Sounds awesome!Â

Alaska is definitely a different kind of living experience. My mother lives in Bethel (which is a small town in the Yukon on the tundra) and like Juneau you can only get there by plane, although there are three flights to Anchorage everyday. Cargo comes in on the river (that's how people transport their cars and furniture and whatnot when they move into or out of Bethel), but the river freezes during the winter. (So in the winter all supplies have to come in by plane also.) There are villages (she's in a major native American area) that use dog sleds during the winter and people use the river during the winter to drive on either as a shortcut around town or to get to the villages. But you definitely need to have the ability to entertain yourself to a large degree if you're thinking of moving to Alaska. And going into the grocery store will give you a major case of sticker shock. On the other hand, the Anchorage airport is my favorite airport of all time. They have an awesome book store and a native American art exhibit (not paintings, more like carvings, clothes, and other things of different native materials). All that being said. While I enjoy going up to visit her (although I've only gone in the winter), I would never want to live there myself.
Sounds awesome!
