Library Director - Oshkosh Public Library (WI) The Oshkosh Public Library (WI)<https://www.oshkoshpubliclibrary.org/> Board of Trustees seeks a collaborative team leader who can build relationships within the community as its next Library Director. Working from a single historic location with a $3.8 million budget and 39 FTE staff, the Library Director will work to meet the library's mission statement and help the nearly 67,000 residents 'find knowledge resources; provide free access to information; preserve local history; and create a vibrant community gathering place'. Highlights include a strong endowment fund, a supportive Board of Trustees, and a commitment to local history and genealogy. The 10-member board has nine members appointed by the mayor (with the concurrence of City Council), and one appointed by the County Executive. The library recently transitioned its Winnefox Library System (WLS) to a separate entity and the new Director will work to ensure WLS's growth as a newly independent organization. Key initiatives include strengthening the library's relationship with the city, undertaking a facilities assessment, and ensuring intellectual freedom for its residents. Oshkosh, Wisconsin boasts a charming blend of history, community spirit, and natural beauty. Nestled along the shores of Lake Winnebago, Oshkosh offers picturesque waterfront views and recreational opportunities, like the Oshkosh Riverwalk and Leach Amphitheater. Its historic downtown features a variety of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, making it a hub of activity. Home to the renowned EAA AirVenture Oshkosh aviation event, the city celebrates innovation and aeronautics as an integral part of the local economy. Residents also have the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh which provides three campuses for higher education pursuits. Located in central Wisconsin, Oshkosh is equidistant to Green Bay and Milwaukee. The area's strong schools, affordable cost of living, and high quality of life make it a standout destination in the heart of Wisconsin. Responsibilities: The Library Director will be responsible to lead and foster an inclusive culture that welcomes creative and innovative ideas; develop and communicate a strong vision for a 21st-century library; work with the library's leadership team to develop library policies, procedures, programs, and services; maintain a regular presence in the community, increasing the library's visibility and connecting with other community leaders; provide oversight of the library's finances in accordance with established laws and policies; advocate for the library, while serving as the primary spokesperson and liaison between the library and the federal, state, and local government agencies; and effectively motivate staff, delegate tasks, and manage the day-to-day operation of the library. Additional responsibilities are listed in the job description. Qualifications: A master's degree in library science from an ALA-accredited library school, eligibility for the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Public Librarian Grade I Certification<https://dpi.wi.gov/libraries/public-libraries/governance-administration/dir…>, and five (5) or more years of increasingly responsible professional library experience including management and supervisory experience or other combinations of training and/or experience which translate to the knowledge and abilities necessary to perform the duties of this position are required. Residency in the Oshkosh Public Library service area is highly preferred. The ideal candidate will be a confident library professional who can clearly articulate a vision for service. Compensation: The hiring salary range is $106,000 - $120,000 (with placement negotiable dependent on experience and qualifications) and an excellent fringe benefits package.

All standard bookmarks are now double-sided, with English on one side and Spanish on the other. We've also added a 4th design with the early literacy artwork for even more options. These are the same size as last year (2 ¼ " x 6") and packaged in the same quantities of 200 per pack. In addition, we're trying out another uncut bookmark option that we're calling "All Ages." This package will feature the four standard bookmark designs and are also double-sided with English/Spanish. When cut, these will measure the same as the standard bookmarks and are sold in packages of 200. If you're a fan of the original uncut bookmark featuring the children's artwork, these are still available in packages of 200. Don't forget about the magnetic bookmarks that help keep those dog-eared pages away! These bookmarks slip securely over the book's pages and are held in place by magnets on either side. Measuring 2 ½ " x 3", these come in packages of 12 and will feature the same four standard bookmark designs.

The Wead Libr[https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/a37bb939-07… in New York hosted an Elephant & Piggie Friendship Party. For the 2023 Summer Reading Program, the library decided to stick closely with the themes of friendship, unity, and kindness. Partygoers helped Gerald and Piggie get ready for a party while reading "I Am Invited to a Party!" by Mo Willems before jumping into a simple but fun craft. With the use of paper, cupcake liners, and glue each attendee created their own versions of Gerald and Piggie. Each child was able to leave the party with a new stuffed animal of their choice. [https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/images/2cf4042d-125f-70… the Onondaga Free Library in New York - This summer, with the All Together Now theme of community, we invited community helpers to join in our Family Storytimes. Special guests included firefighters from Onondaga Hill Volunteer Fire Department, a trash collector from Dependable Disposal, a deputy from Onondaga County Sheriff's Office and an EMT from WAVES. Families loved learning about their roles in the community as well as checking out their vehicles! Located at the heart of Lake Livingston, 80 miles north of Houston, the Onalaska area is a popular vacation and retirement community that still retains a small-town quality with a country atmosphere-offering outdoor and recreational activities that provide fun for all ages. Leveraging these features, the Onalaska Public Library dedicated this summer's library program to fostering community connections with weekly topics and reading-themed events focusing on kindness, friendship, and unity. Programming showcased guest speakers from local businesses, the farming community, and library volunteers who introduced families to skills like sending cards of gratitude, reflecting on the community's unique history, and caring for pollinators. There was even a photo contest encouraging the community to"share their bloomers" as flowers are a great place to find pollinators - flowers' little friends who bring kindness and unity to our yards! Moreover, participants collaborated to create a Kindness Wreath and a Favorite Place to Read quilt that will be auctioned or raffled off at the December Auxiliary Fundraiser. In conclusion, Director Sherry Brecheen states that her favorite part was "hearing children reflect on books they were reading at home. Knowing that we are changing lives and giving hope for a promising future makes the job worth all the effort."[https://mcusercontent.com/043a7515ceb3ad45bdd2dd405/_compresseds/5237a129-0…] CSLP Summer Symposium - Save the Date!
