The CCPL offers rewarding and exciting career challenges for the successful candidate thanks to a $108.5 million building and renovation program funded through a 2014 bond referendum-overwhelmingly approved by three quarters of County voters. The new library leader will expand and improve the system's superb services, outstanding programs and exceptional customer experiences.

Founded in 1670, Charleston established an early commitment to fostering literacy and literature with the first public lending library in the American Colonies in 1698. With a healthy respect for heritage and tradition, the Charleston community is growing in diverse ways thanks to a high quality of life recognized by residents and visitors, who make Charleston one of the world's top destinations.
