Library Director-Carmel Clay (IN) Public Library
Connect|Discover a “once in a lifetime library opportunity” in a beautiful Midwest setting. The Board of Trustees of the Carmel Clay (IN) Public Library seeks a visionary, strategic leader with passion, creativity, and innovation to lead a stellar organization and community forward providing quality services and programs. The CCPL seven-member Board of Trustees is searching for that unique candidate who has the energy and enthusiasm and ability to recognize and contribute to the Library’s successes and solid foundation in the Carmel Clay area. The new Director will bring a talent to engage staff and the public in showcasing and expanding the Library’s role in the community to include a “library without walls;” a welcoming, warm physical space for Carmel citizens connecting to each other; collaborative external partnerships; and being a strong, clear voice for CCPL. The Carmel Clay Public Library staff serves 86,000 residents through a single 116,000 sq. ft. Library (opened in 1999). With a $6.5 million annual budget, the Library circulated 2.1 million items in 2014 and hosted 2,000+ programs.
Carmel, Indiana, CNN Money Magazine’s No 1 Place to Live in America (2012), has transformed itself from a sleepy suburban edge city of Indianapolis to a fast-growing, economically-thriving vibrant city that is no longer simply a place to sleep at night. Carmel citizens are highly educated and value Carmel’s excellent schools, low taxes, and safe neighborhoods. It is a coveted place to live with distinct areas and architecture. A progressive city government has adopted a new-urbanism approach to planning-attracting a younger population starting out in their careers and a seasoned citizenry who are looking for empty-nester living. The City’s approach to walkability has made Carmel one of the most bike-friendly communities in Indiana. You can live, work, shop, and enjoy a high quality of life without a car. Signature attractions include the Carmel Arts and Design District (galleries, restaurants, and shops); the Center for the Performing Arts under the artistic direction of Michael Feinstein, and home for his Great American Songbook Foundation; and the Monon Community Center-an outdoor nature and water park. For more information on the Carmel Clay Public Library and the Carmel Clay area, see Carmel Clay Links.

A key responsibility will be to co-direct CHI projects in collaboration with the Center’s leadership and provide strategic and practical oversight for a newly conceived Digital Humanities Lab (DHL), an exciting new initiative of the University Libraries that will provide opportunities for faculty and students to engage in digitally enriched humanities scholarship and pedagogy. The Associate Director will be expected to lead, design, plan, and implement a service and program model for the Lab in collaboration with colleagues in the Libraries and the CLA.
The Libraries’ Associate Director will be one of three roles leading CHI; the other partners are the Center’s Director and an additional Associate Director, both of whom also are teaching faculty in Liberal Arts. Because of the Center, the Lab, and the Libraries’ continuing vibrant partnership with the College of Liberal Arts, the Associate Director role presents a unique opportunity - a chance to make a transformative difference in the operations, research activities and services, promotion and outreach initiatives, and strategic vision for the humanities and digital scholarship at Penn State.
