Library Director Opportunity! 

The Lincoln Township Public Library (LTPL) resides in beautiful Stevensville Michigan, a stone's throw away from Lake Michigan and all the outdoor recreation this shoreline community has to offer.   

LTPL is ready for its next Director to lead the library towards new endeavors, new levels of engagement, with a commitment to the future, while maintaining an eye on its past.  Established in 1938 by the Stevensville Women’s Club, the Staff and Board of Directors are dedicated to maintaining a library that is relevant to its community and is seeking its next Library Director.   

Who do we seek?  You are a proven leader (or an emerging leader) with a demonstrated history of success.  You drive the bus, fully capable of taking directions from those in the seats behind you (I.e., trustees, staff, the public), while also charting new roads to engage community leaders, board members, staff, and volunteers on your journey.  You have driven the bus in the past to promote e-books, streaming services, community collaboration, or other initiatives that resulted in programming that brings people to your library, helping them to understand the value of their library while enhancing the quality of their lives.  You drive the bus throughout the community in a manner that is highly visible and intriguing to others.  You stop frequently to let community leaders board the bus to celebrate and embrace involvement in their library – your library (I.e., you have a keen sense of ownership for its success and help to steer the bus towards opportunity and success).  You build support in all your interactions, exposing people to new ideas and experiences.  The library (I.e., your bus) is a safe place for young people from schools to visit daily where they may engage in the summer reading program or various programs that might address their social needs.   

Who are we?  With a service population of 22,905, LTPL's physical footprint occupies 25,000 square feet.  LTPL experiences approximately 40,000 visitors, over 150 programs, and over 366,000 items in circulation per year.  The current collection is characterized as 78.5% of physical collection, 16.7% of e-books, 4.8% downloadable of audio/visual.
