Rye Free Reading Room’s Board of Trustees seeks a creative and energetic new leader to promote library services and continue the Library’s commitment to quality programming and services for the Rye community. The Director will work closely with the 18-member Board of Trustees, a 45-member Auxiliary Board, staff and local stakeholders to develop and articulate its vision for library service, design and implement strategic initiatives, and administer the service program, facility and space planning, and fundraising and resource development. As an association library, the Rye Free Reading Room is funded by the City of Rye and private donations, with the Board actively investigating options for sustainable funding. For the complete job announcement see http://www.gossagesager.com/ryead.htm. The Library—with a staff of 13.92 FTEs and a budget of $1.5 million—provides exceptional customer service and its programs are consistently among the most heavily attended in Westchester County. A recent expansion of the landmark building on Rye’s Village Green and ongoing capital projects—including repurposing the historic 2nd floor, adding a Teen Center and meeting room—help ensure the facilities are well-positioned for continued growth. Minimum qualifications include an MLS from an ALA accredited institution and at least five years of progressively responsible experience, including at least two years management experience in a public library. Successful experience with fundraising, building maintenance, working in a union environment and reporting to policy board are highly desirable. The starting salary range is $92,000-$108,000 (dependent on experience and qualifications) plus benefits. The position closes February 17, 2013. |
