RESOURCES MANAGER, GREENWICH (CT) LIBRARY

 

Would you like to call Greenwich Library <http://www.greenwichlibrary.org/>
"My Library" and Greenwich, CT "Your Community?" Greenwich Library seeks a
Resources Manager who is committed to maintaining collections that "provide
the community with a window to the past and a view to the future." The
successful candidate will be knowledgeable, passionate and engaged about the
role libraries play in individual lives and the community-and will share
that expertise and enthusiasm as a member of the Library's leadership team
providing strategic direction for the library's print and non-print/digital
collections. In addition to expanding current collections, the resources
manager will also integrate emerging media into the collections, develop
enhanced discoverability, understand and promote the vitality of local
collections and know best practices for content creation. 

 

 Greenwich Library, a "community treasure," is committed to both its local
and global community. Library Journal's five star Library, through its
ambitious new strategic plan, "Connecting Our Community
<http://www.greenwichlibrary.org/docs/GLStrategicPlan2012-2017.pdf> ,"
serves  62,755 residents through its Main library (104,000 s/f) and two
branch libraries. A dedicated staff of 157 (93 FTE), a collection of nearly
half a million items and a $9.2 million annual budget from public and
private sources enable the Library to circulate 1.4 million items and host
745,000 visitors. 

 

Founded in 1640, Greenwich <http://www.greenwichct.org/>  is known as the
Gateway to New England. A town of neighborhoods, Greenwich is listed as one
of the top 100 places to live in the United States (CNN and Money Magazine).
Just 38 miles from Manhattan and easily accessible on the Metro-North Rail
Line, it is known for its hedge fund industry, public and private school
system and health care. Ethnic and cultural and economic diversity are
noteworthy; 24% of the population speaks a language other than English in
their homes.  Greenwich's recreational amenities include beaches, a
symphony, and an active arts council. Located in Fairfield County, Greenwich
successfully combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with the friendliness of a
small New England town. Additional information on the Library and the
