<div dir="ltr">My official title, maybe because of similar thinking, is District Librarian. I use this on some official things but I find that in the library world it is less confusing if I use Library Director. It better explains my position and no one has ever thought that it means a member of the library board. The only place where there might have been some confusion is within the Special Districts Association (SDAO) but they haven't ever seemed all that confused not matter which title I use.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 1:21 PM, Oregon Trail Library District Director <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:otlddirector@centurylink.net" target="_blank">otlddirector@centurylink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt"><p>Good Afternoon,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Oregon Trail Library Board is developing a job description. There is one member acting on advice from a city manager who is adamant the role should be "Library Manager". They both feel that a director may only be elected. Can anyone please give me arguments on behalf of the Library Director title?</p>
