Executive Director-Pierce County (WA) Library System!
Bring the World of Information and Imagination to All – in a beautiful Pacific-Northwest setting. The Board of Trustees of the Pierce County Library System seeks both a visionary leader and an experienced, capable manager—creative and innovative in building and maintaining successful teams—to lead the organization in providing quality services and programs for this diverse and culturally rich library system. The award winning (2013 IMLS National Medal) Pierce County Library System serves all of unincorporated Pierce County and 15 annexed cities and towns—a total of 555,285 suburban and rural residents. Established as an independent municipal corporation, the Library is an independent taxing district with authority to levy a property tax as well as issue bonds and special levies with a vote of the public. With a $25.6 million annual budget and approximately 406 staff (236 FTEs) with union representation, Pierce County Library System welcomed 2.4 million visitors and loaned 7.6 million items in 2013. Governed by an appointed board of trustees and supported by a successful Foundation and active Friends organizations, the System’s 18 libraries and virtual services bring people together and provide opportunities for learning, enrichment and fun—and even greater levels of service excellence in the years ahead.
It's hard to imagine a better place to live than Pierce County—surrounded by saltwater shores and towering mountain peaks. Pierce County is notable for being home to stunning Mount Rainier and six major rivers. The County ranges from bustling cities with rich culture and arts communities and active nightlife to quiet timber towns. Small-town farmers and big-city professionals, active retired couples and families and talented trades people—all share a northwest pioneer spirit. Pierce County Library System shares the County with the Tacoma Public Library, Puyallup Library, and Roy Library. The County also has sixteen school districts (fifteen served by PCLS) and the area is home to several two and four year colleges including the University of Washington Tacoma, University of Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma Community College, and Pierce College. The Port of Tacoma is the sixth busiest container port in North America and Joint Base Lewis-McChord contributes more than 42,000 military and civilian jobs to the local economy. Pierce County’s neighbors include Olympia (Washington’s capital city), Seattle and King County—all with additional opportunities for exploring diverse cultural and recreational amenities. For more information on the Library, Pierce County and the region, see Pierce County Links.

In addition to coursework beginning in the fall 2015 at UNC, each fellow will complete two internships.

The Fellowships are funded by a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
