Library Director - Irving Public Library (TX) The City of Irving (Texas) Public Library<https://cityofirving.org/1054/Library> seeks a new Library Director - someone ready to work and succeed with this incredible opportunity. With three library locations (two new since 2011) and one learning center, a staff of 104, and a $7 million annual budget, the successful candidate will work closely with external and internal stakeholders to shape a new library vision.

The city's thriving economy, combined with its proximity to the Dallas/Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field airports, has made Irving a corporate powerhouse and an exciting place to live.

While Irving is in the center of a large metropolitan area, its beautiful green spaces - including exceptional golf courses and more than 80 parks on 1,868 park acres - beg for outdoor activity. Irving's Campion Trail offers exceptional golf courses, outdoor sporting facilities, and more than 15 miles of walkable, bikeable trail. Irving is the first city to share a major connection along the Trinity Trail System, a regional network that will ultimately span 250 miles and connect 16 counties across North Texas. The City of Irving is also home to six full-time recreation centers that offer a variety of indoor sports and children's programs, six aquatic centers, a dog park, lighted tennis courts, a youth activity center, and a senior activity center.
