The Board of Trustees of the Carmel Clay (IN) Public Library <http://www.carmel.lib.in.us/> seeks a visionary, strategic leader with passion, creativity, and innovation to lead a stellar organization and community forward providing quality services and programs. The CCPL seven-member Board of Trustees is searching for that unique candidate who has the energy and enthusiasm and ability to recognize and contribute to the Library's successes and solid foundation in the Carmel Clay area. The new Director will bring a talent to engage staff and the public in showcasing and expanding the Library's role in the community as a welcoming, warm physical space for Carmel citizens connecting to each other; collaborative external partnerships; and being a strong, clear voice for CCPL. The Carmel Clay Public Library staff serves 86,293 residents through a single 116,385 sq. ft. Library (opened in 1999) and a mobile library (started in 2015). With a $6.7 million annual budget, the Library circulated 2.1 million items in 2015 and hosted 2,000+ programs. <http://www.carmel.in.gov/index.aspx> Carmel, Indiana, CNN Money Magazine's No 1 Place to Live in America (2012), has transformed itself from a sleepy suburban edge city of Indianapolis to a fast-growing, economically-thriving vibrant city that is no longer simply a place to sleep at night. Carmel citizens are highly educated and value Carmel's excellent schools, low taxes, and safe neighborhoods. It is a coveted place to live with distinct areas and architecture. A progressive city government has adopted a new-urbanism approach to planning-attracting a younger population starting out in their careers and a seasoned citizenry who are looking for empty-nester living. The City's approach to walkability has made Carmel one of the most bike-friendly communities in Indiana. You can live, work, shop, and enjoy a high quality of life without a car. Signature attractions include the Carmel Arts and Design District (galleries, restaurants, and shops); the Center for the Performing Arts under the artistic direction of Michael Feinstein, and home for his Great American Songbook Foundation; and the Monon Community Center-an outdoor nature and water park.

by Ceci Marlow 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

*Cromaine is The Place to Connect to--* *Learn *- technology, online education, new interest *Enjoy* – discovery, enrichment, cultural and leisure activities *People *– expertise, gatherings and groups, friends, legacy As a new member of the TLN Shared Catalog, we are excited to offer the resources of so many at the fingertips of our patrons. And, now, we will also have more space! Construction begins August 2016 with completion in spring 2017! Exciting! Increasing community engagement means keeping our staffing up. We have a 20-hour Adult Services Librarian position available. This has been our e-resources position, managing the many databases to which we subscribe separately, as well as the Adult AV selector, including Top Box Office DVDs in Demand (no holds), DVDs, audiobooks and e-books. All of our Librarians are cross-trained. You may not do a story time, but you’ll probably assist with desk coverage in Youth and at Circulation as well as some other programming (Quidditch Tournament anyone?) We believe we are the place to connect—with warm and friendly staff, the Web, and the community. If that’s your desire, interest, and future vision, too, then we need you! Cromaine District Library is located near the intersection of M-59 and US-23—easy to get to from Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Flint. Cromaine-Village (built in 1927 and expanded in 1980) is the main library with the largest collection and programming space, but we also offer a popular collection and an increasing number of programs at the Crossroads Branch, in a strip mall, established 2005, but closing in 2017 to concentrate our resources, human and financial, in one location. Cromaine wins grants, including several National Endowment for the Arts’ The Big Read. Grants for technology in Youth, local business sponsorships for an expanded summer concert series, exhibits from the Smithsonian and to be a pilot for a national grant program—we are a place to connect to culture, music, technology, makers, as well as reading in every format. We are an OverDrive (TLN’s Download Destination) plus Advantage and hoopla from Midwest Tape, library. Many of the grants support a very full event calendar (check It out at www.cromaine.org/Programs and Events). And, MLS staff wage rates have been increased effective July 12: now $19.00 per hour to start, 20 hours per week; includes some evenings and weekends. MLA membership and national conference attendance (in rotation) paid. After successful completion of the 90-day introductory period, an increase to $19.50 is planned. Part-time positions at Cromaine have prorated paid time off, plus holiday pay, paid birthday, and paid bereavement leave as well as an opportunity to participate in AFLAC, but no other paid benefits. Share your love for new technologies and public service with a community that loves its library and its library staff even more. Send your application (available at www.cromaine.org--Cromaine News & Info--Forms), resume and a cover letter to “Librarian” at Cromaine or e-mail (preferred to be “green”) to brentola(a)cromaine.org by July 22, 2016—position applications accepted until filled. -- Cecilia Ann Marlow Library Director Cromaine District Library 810-632-5200, ext. 105
