<p class=MsoNormal><i><font size=3 face=Helvetica><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Helvetica;font-style:italic'>Are you excited by the idea of
planning for a new main library with cutting edge services and
technology? If so, then you may be the candidate we’re seeking!</span></font></i><font
face=Helvetica><span style='font-family:Helvetica'><br>
<br>
The <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Cedar Rapids Public Library </span></b>seeks
a <b><font color="#ff6600"><span style='color:#FF6600;font-weight:bold'>Library
Director</span></font></b> who is a dynamic, outgoing, and creative problem
solver to provide strategic vision and leadership. The director will work
with an excellent staff, who as a team won the Library Journal Librarian of the
Year Award. The successful candidate will be a leader who excels at
building partnerships, empowering staff, and collaborating with other area
agencies in a politically savvy environment; a librarian who can articulate,
support, and promote the Library’s mission to provide a complete spectrum
of information to the community through a variety of materials, programs,
appropriate technology, and a well-trained staff.<br>
<br>
The Cedar Rapids Public Library serves a population of over 132,000. The
staff consists of 71 employees (51.55 FTEs), and the Library’s annual
revenues exceed $3,989,807. As the Library plans for the future, it now
provides services through a space in the Westdale Shopping Mall and has just
signed a lease for a 2,277 square feet space downtown. The Library is a
focal point of the community, with solid public support. As a result of the
2008 flood, the Library and the City have formed a stronger partnership and the
libraries in surrounding communities have offered extensive support. The
City of Cedar Rapids offers an excellent quality of life with three four-year
colleges and the University of Iowa within 30 miles. There is a robust
professional community that strongly supports the library. <br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Minimum Qualifications:</span></b> MLS from
an ALA-accredited library education program, plus 5 years professional
experience with demonstrated management ability in administration, budgeting,
planning, fundraising, and supervision. The successful candidate will
have a strong philosophy of customer service, the ability to attract and
maintain a talented staff, and embrace the Library’s values, including
innovation, trust, staff participation, and team management. Experience with
facilities projects and building programs preferred.<br>
<br>
<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Salary:</span></b> Minimum $95,000,
depending on qualifications.<br>
