*Library Director- Crown Point Community Library *



*Read…Discover…Connect. Discover and connect with the charm and character
of Crown Point and the Crown Point Community Library*. The Crown Point
Community Library <http://crownpointlibrary.org/> Board of Trustees seeks a
talented and energetic Director to lead the Library and its constituents to
meet the needs of this growing community.  The Library Director will
provide quality leadership, direct and support staff, and bring new ideas
and exciting innovation to the Library.  Crown Point Community Library,
located in Lake County, Indiana, serves the 42,000 residents of Center and
Winfield Townships.  Governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees, the two
library locations—downtown Crown Point Library and the Winfield
Library—provide excellent services and programs with 39 staff and a $1.6
million annual budget. The Library, originally established as a Carnegie
library, realized in 2005 that is was rapidly outgrowing and outpacing its
facility. In 2010, the Library passed a successful $12 million bond issue
and the “new” Crown Point Library opened in 2012.



*Crown Point <http://www.crownpoint.in.gov/>, *the “Hub of Lake County,
IN,” is the county center anchored by the stunning Lake County Court House
and the Public Library located on a thriving square with retail and
restaurants. This “jewel” of a growing community—the population has
increased exponentially within the last 14 years—provides a
family-friendly, small town lifestyle with nearby city amenities (Chicago
and Indianapolis are a short drive away). Local residents will find
excellent public schools, strong neighborhoods, and affordable housing.
Purdue University, Valparaiso University, Ivy Tech Community College,
Indiana University Northwest, and University of St. Francis offer higher
education opportunities. In addition to its modern charm, Crown Point has
an abundance of historic architecture and invites its visitors and
residents to explore it through walking tours and a visit to the Lake
County Historical Museum. For more information about the Library, Crown
Point and Lake County, visit Crown Point Links

*Responsibilities.* Under the direction of the Library Board of Trustees,
the Library Director develops, administers, supervises, and coordinates the
work of the Library and staff, performs managerial duties related to
personnel, budget, collection development, building maintenance, and
library operations and services in conformity of the policies established
by the Board of Trustees and the laws of the Indiana State Library. The
successful candidate will be able to balance traditional service while
implementing new, bold, thoughtful programs and services. See Crown Point
Library Director <http://www.gossagesager.com/CPjobdesc.pdf> to see the
complete job description.



*Qualifications.* Minimum qualifications include an ALA-accredited Master's
Degree in Library Science; the ability to obtain and retain an Indiana
Librarian Certificate 1; and ten years progressively responsible library
experience (or six years library experience including three years of
supervisory experience). Essential attributes and skills include: excellent
communication and organizational skills; the ability and desire to plan,
develop, and administer the activities of a public library; supervisory
experience; and an understanding and appreciation of library best practices
in the areas of intellectual freedom, collections, and library
technologies. The successful candidate must also demonstrate the ability to
establish and maintain effective working relationships with the Board,
staff, and community stakeholders. Successful experience as a library
director reporting to a governing board is desirable.



*Compensation.*  The starting salary range is $62,000 to $74,000 (with
placement dependent upon experience and qualifications) with an attractive
benefits package.
