Deputy Director - Greenwich (CT) Library
A great community deserves a great library and a great library deserves a great Deputy Director! Join the Greenwich Library–and its highly talented team of professionals—as its next Deputy Director. For 200 years, Greenwich Library has served as the intellectual and cultural hub of its community and is at a pivotal point in the implementation of its new strategic plan, “Connecting Our Community.” Greenwich Library, a Library Journal “Five Star Library”, proudly serves the 62,755 residents of the Town of Greenwich through its Main library (104,000 s/f) and two branch libraries, the Byram Shubert Library and the Cos Cob Library. With a dedicated staff of 157 (93 FTE), a collection of nearly 500,000 items and a $9.2 million annual budget from public and private sources, the Library circulates 1.4 million items and hosts 745,000 visitors annually.
Founded in 1640, Greenwich is the gateway to New England. A town of many neighborhoods, Greenwich is one of the top 100 places to live in the United States (CNN and Money Magazine). Less than an hour from Manhattan and easily accessible on the Metro-North Rail Line, it is known for its excellent public and private schools and health care system. Ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic diversity are noteworthy; 24% of the population speaks a language other than English in their homes. Greenwich’s recreational amenities include several public beaches, a golf course, tennis courts, the Greenwich Symphony, choral society, 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.

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!
