Chief Executive Officer - Prince George's County Memorial Library System (MD) The Prince George's County Memorial Library System<https://www.pgcmls.info/> (PGCMLS) Board of Library Trustees seeks a strong advocate who, through effective leadership, will sustain the library system's progress toward becoming one of the nation's best libraries. PGCMLS serves approximately 905,000 residents from 19 branch locations with a $36 million budget and 306 FTE, roughly 85% of whom are members of UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO. Approximately 72% of its budget comes from the county and 23% from the Maryland State government. In FY 2022, PGCMLS had 583,480 active borrowers, 55,966 people attending 2,296 free programs, and circulated 3.4 million items, ranking it among the highest circulating libraries in Maryland. Since 2020, the PGCMLS Foundation has also raised over $2 million to strengthen the role the library plays in the communities it serves, including support for the creation of five resource labs focused on creative design, media production, entrepreneurship, workforce development, and social justice education. PGCMLS is committed to innovation, and it received the Urban Libraries Council's 2021 Top Innovator Award for its workforce and community development initiatives. The library has fostered a collaborative culture, both internally and with other community stakeholders, and it enjoys strong support and goodwill from its patrons. The ideal CEO will bring extraordinary passion, innovation, and a demonstrated commitment to a diverse, multicultural, and engaged community of patrons and active partners.

New Outreach Stop Questions
by Elizabeth Koroleski 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

Hello everyone! I started working at the Bad Axe Area District Library and I am slowly becoming in charge of our outreach with our Bookmobile (going out once a week with different stops every other week). We currently have stops at a couple preschools, a couple one-room country schools, our senior center, and at the elementary school at dismissal. My director, Briynne McCrea, had thought that possibly stopping at one of our nursing homes would be a good addition to one of our weeks (or maybe just monthly- nothing is set in stone yet). Her thoughts were that we could deliver books/audiobooks to residents and to connect them to other things like interlibrary loans and the Michigan Braille and Talking Library. My questions for any of you who have done something like this: -What kind of process did you go through overall? (Briynne has already reached out to the nursing home director so we have the contact, but nothing has been started) -What kind of form do you use for residents? -Does it have them asking for genres, specific authors, specific books, etc.? -What are issues that you have run into? -How do you go through the selection of items? Thank you so much for any and all help and insight- it is all greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Elizabeth Koroleski Library Clerk/Outreach Bad Axe Area District Library
