Due to the retirement of our current Director, the White Pine Library Cooperative is seeking a new Director.

The White Pine Library Cooperative is seeking a uniquely qualified leader to create vision, provide direction, and promote library services for the community while promoting the library as an employer-of-choice. If this speaks to your heart and mind, please read on.
White Pine Library Cooperative is funded by state aid through membership dues with an annual budget of $335,000, governed by a ten-member Board of Trustees with offices in Saginaw, Michigan. The Cooperative staff consists of the Director and two support team members who serve 400,000 citizens, and 49 member libraries across 14 counties. While the majority of members are public libraries, the Cooperative also serves high school, academic, and correctional libraries, each with their unique setting, programs, and services supported by excellent staff.
Do you have experience and a drive to work collaboratively to delivery library cooperative services throughout the Mid-Michigan region? If so, please consider becoming a candidate that can help us honor our past success while simultaneously propel us towards future goals.
