Montgomery City County Personnel

Library Director (#CI7182)


Pay Grade

A14

Nature of Work

The fundamental reason that this classification exists is to serve as the head librarian for the city-county library system. The Library Director works with the Library Board as well as City and County staff to provide effective and efficient library services to the community.  Major work responsibilities may include managing, leading, and directing library system staff; overseeing short- and long-range planning; managing, developing, and monitoring the library system’s budget and financial planning; managing the library system’s physical resources; providing administrative support to the Library Board; managing the library system’s community relations and marketing efforts; and monitoring library activities, programs, and services.  The Library Director differs from the Assistant Library Director in that the Assistant Library Director serves as the day-to-day manager of operations while the Director manages the overall system in terms of planning and oversight.  The Library Director’s work is more administrative in nature than operational.  The Library Director reports to the Director of Cultural Affairs.

Minimum Qualifications

Master’s degree in Library Science from a college or university accredited by the American Library Association and seven (7) years of library management experience at varying levels, including the senior level, at a moderate-sized public library system.
