Small school setting up library needs suggestions
by Julianne Novetsky 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Hello librarian hive mind! I work with a local middle school/high school that is small and privately funded. They are struggling to set up their library because they don't have any librarians on staff and don't know where to start. I am putting together a list of recommendations to help them start the process, but I was wondering if anyone with experience has any advice? Maybe you have worked with a school like this before, or even have a small public library that you helped set up. In particular, I am interested in any ILS or similar resources that are free since I don't think they have a large budget. I realize there may not be a free ILS, but maybe you or a library you know uses something in place of an ILS that is free? Thanks for your suggestions! If anyone is interested, I can always summarize what I find out. Julianne Novetsky Outreach Services Warren Civic Center Library One City Square, Suite 100 Warren, MI 48093-2396 586-751-0770 ext 5004 jnovetsky(a)cityofwarren.org My Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

26 Jan '23

Library Director - Massillon Public Library (OH) The Massillon Public Library (OH)<https://www.massillonlibrary.org/> Board of Trustees seeks an energetic and forward-thinking professional to serve as Library Director. From a historic Main Library that anchors an active downtown business district, the library has a long history of meaningful involvement with the community. The library serves the city of Massillon and, since the 1930s, the tight-knit villages of Brewster and Navarre which are located in the rural southwest area of the county. With an operating budget of over $3 million, the 69 employees (30 FTE) serve over 30,000 registered borrowers from the Main Library, two branches, and a bookmobile. Key initiatives for a new Director include creating and implementing a new strategic plan; discovering new ways of engaging the community with library services and resources; working within the challenges of maintaining an older Main Library; and correctly anticipating the needs of the community while developing staff skills to best meet those needs. With a population of 32,000 in one of Ohio's most populous counties, the City of Massillon has deep roots and strong pride, some of which centers around the Massillon High School football team - the Tigers. A variety of public and private primary and secondary schools provide plenty of choice in education. The Massillon Museum, local historic homes, and the Lions Lincoln Theater support local cultural activities. Museums, music venues, and private and public colleges and universities in the Canton/Akron/Cleveland corridor provide an abundance of additional choices for arts and entertainment. With an extensive county park system and 10 state parks plus a national park within an easy drive of town, there are many recreational choices close by. Responsibilities: The Library Director directs and oversees the overall operations of the Massillon Public Library, establishes a culture of mutual respect among staff, promotes excellent service to all patrons, and carries out the library's mission under the direction of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with library policies and the laws of the State of Ohio. The director represents and promotes the library in both the public and professional communities while providing a leadership role in education concerning the library's services, funding circumstances, and fund-raising needs, and provides leadership and direct supervision of the operations of library departments through nine department managers. Qualifications: A bachelor's degree and a minimum of three years of experience working in a public library are required. A minimum of three years of directly supervising staff is required. A master's degree in library science from an ALA-accredited school and supervisory experience in a library setting is preferred. Experience as a manager or director of a public library is strongly preferred. Experience working with a governing board and/or levy campaign experience is desirable. Any equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered. Compensation: The hiring salary range is $90,000 - $100,000 (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.
