Library Director - Norfolk Library
Library Director - Norfolk Library.
Join us as we write the next chapter in the story of one of
Connecticut’s unique and highly respected public libraries. The Norfolk
Library Board of Trustees is seeking a thoughtful, energetic and capable
leader to become the next library director. You will join our team of
staff, an experienced and engaged board and a committed group of
community volunteers to expand on our tradition of service. Norfolk
Library provides modern library services as well as an ambitious
offering of cultural programs, including art exhibits, concerts,
lectures, book discussions and story hours. The Library’s beautifully
maintained 1889 facility along with its “Great Hall,” added in 1911, and
its children’s room added in 1985, make it the prime destination for
local residents all year round. The large influx of summer residents
adds even more vitality to the programming and events sponsored by the
Library and its Associates. Please visit the library at www.norfolklibrary.org and Norfolk at http://www.norfolkct.org.
Norfolk, located in beautiful Litchfield County at the foot of the
southern Berkshires, is one hour from Hartford and Springfield and
one-half hour from Torrington and Great Barrington. This area of
northwestern Connecticut features historic rural towns, covered bridges,
welcoming restaurants, inns and small museums and a plethora of
activities, including Yale University’s Summer School of Music and
Art/Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, fly fishing and kayaking in its
scenic rivers and streams and hiking and biking throughout its quiet
woods and hills. Candidates should have an MLS degree and experience as a
public library administrator or department head. Excellent
interpersonal skills are a must, as well as a hands-on work ethic and
knowledge of emerging technologies and fundraising. Starting salary is
competitive and commensurate with experience including an excellent
benefit package. Resumes will be reviewed as received and the position
will remain open until filled. To be considered, send a cover letter and
resume with salary history to: librarydirectorsearch@gmail.com. For inquiries please contact Alan Burger of Library Development Solutions at ab@librarydevelopment.com.
