Happily, the city is rebuilding the facility at a new location and is now hiring its first paid library director. Top priorities for this halftime position include: overseeing the daily operations of the library; managing volunteers; developing positive relationships with community stakeholders and organizations to support the success of the library; developing programming for library patrons; and building the library collection. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#474747;background:#FEFEFE'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#474747;background:#FEFEFE'>This is a great opportunity for someone interested in guiding a revitalized rural library into its next chapter.
