Three of these facilities (Fife Lake, Interlochen, Peninsula) are member libraries that receive most of their support from the district-wide millage. Although member libraries have independent elected boards, hire their own library directors and operate autonomously, they are full partners with TADL. *Mission* The Traverse Area District Library (TADL) provides dynamic resources and innovative services to stimulate intellectual curiosity, facilitate lifelong learning, promote literacy, and nurture personal enrichment. *Community* The Traverse Area District Library network is located in beautiful Grand Traverse County, a community of 95,000 residents. This area is a popular recreation destination with much to offer in all seasons of the year. While much of the county is rural, Traverse City is a dynamic and vibrant beachfront city. As affirmed by our 2021 strategic plan, our library patrons view us as a significant community hub and look to us to maintain strong partnerships throughout the community. Founded in 1869, the Ladies Library Association formed the first groundwork of what continues to be a strong community of library patrons. This includes an active Friends organization and library volunteers. Circulating over one million items a year, users throughout the county visit TADL libraries for books, music, movies, programs, computers, meeting room spaces, and more. *If we've caught your interest and you want to learn more, you can read a complete description **here <https://www.tadl.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Job-Posting-Librarian-1-YS-2022-06-30.pdf>* *!* *And if you want to apply: *Send a completed TADL application (found here <https://www.tadl.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Job-Application-2021-07-23-1.pdf> ), a cover letter and resume to : jobs@tadl.org Deb Radjenovich, SHRM-SCP she/her/hers Assistant Director for Finance & HR Traverse Area District Library 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 dradjenovich@tadl.org 231-932-8549 www.tadl.org
