Inspire and build for the future as Marion Public Library’s next Library Director. The Board of Trustees of the Marion Public Library wants a leader to contribute to building and sustaining Marion as a creative city that attracts and nurtures talented people, mobilizes ideas, stimulates innovation, and encourages diversity. Working with the City of Marion, the Library is a center of cultural vitality enhancing the quality of life through library services for all Marion residents. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop a new Strategic Plan and continue to move forward with the Library’s innovative mixed-use building project—Inspire-Building Marion’s Future—initiated during the 2008 City’s Imagine8 visioning project.

The Marion Public Library staff (20FTE) circulated 808,000+ items in 2014 to its 34,000+ residents and borrowers in the Metro Library Network (Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, and Marion). The $1.7mil annual operating budget is funded primarily through a City appropriation with additional financial support from the Friends of the Library and the Library Foundation. The Marion Public Library is a community gathering place that offers everyone easy access to information, recreation, and cultural resources.

 

The City of Marion’s 36,774 population makes it the second largest city in the Cedar Rapids metro area and one of the fastest growing communities in Iowa. Marion was recently recognized at the “20th Best Small City in America” by WalletHub, a website helping consumers and small-business owners make financial decisions. Marion residents take pride in their exceptional schools, eclectic array of cultural and entertainment offerings (Uptown Marion has been recognized as a Cultural and Entertainment District), sixteen beautiful city parks,  a mix of small and large businesses and a participant in the Blue Zones Project since 2013. Events throughout the year (Marion Arts Festival, Swamp Fox Festival, concerts in the parks) attract thousands of families. Marion, a Main Street Community,  offers the comfort and security of a small community with convenient opportunities of a large city. Marion is continuing its tradition of forward-looking growth, building upon its past to offer its citizens wide ranging opportunities.
