I'm looking for recommendations for library movers, please. We're planning for a major renovation that will require our entire collection to move into closed-stack storage for 1-2 years. We will need to hire someone to move our books and shelves to the temporary location in another building on campus. I'm familiar with Hallett Movers. Are there others that I should know about?

The seven board members are appointed by a combination of the West Lafayette School Corporation, Tippecanoe County Schools, West Lafayette mayor, Tippecanoe County Commissioners, West Lafayette City Council, and the Tippecanoe County Council. The library serves engaged patrons who appreciate the recently refreshed building, thoughtfully developed collection, and new Creativity Lab.

Responsibilities: The Library Director's responsibilities include but are not limited to the hiring, reviewing, and releasing of staff; coordinating regular staff meetings; supervising the development of the library's collections and programs; overseeing the maintenance of the library facilities and technology; planning and implementing an annual budget for submission to the library board; developing and implementing of long-range plans; supervising the completion of any necessary government reports; representing the library in local and regional community forums; and serve as an appointed member of the Library Foundation Board of Directors.

Applicants who have not met the requirements of the Indiana Library Certification<https://continuinged.isl.in.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Detailed-Summary…> as a Class 1 librarian may be considered if the requirements can be completed within three years of hire. The ideal candidate will possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, serve as a liaison between the Board of Trustees and staff, possess experience bringing an organization together as a team, appreciate experimentation and failure as a healthy part of growth, and experience developing a consistent fundraising process. Compensation: The hiring salary range is $80,000 - $95,000 (with placement negotiable dependent on experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package. For further information, contact Bradbury Miller Associates<https://bradburymiller.com/>. Apply via email with a meaningful cover letter and your resume as Word or PDF attachments to Brian C.
