Canaan Library—a 21st century library—seeks a 21st century Executive Director! The Board of Trustees
seeks a broad-gauged thinker and dynamic leader to provide strategic direction,
participate in the building of a stellar new library and continue to develop
the Library’s role as the cornerstone of the community’s intellectual and
cultural life. The New Canaan Library, (http://newcanaanlibrary.org/), a
not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, located in the heart of downtown New
Canaan, serves 20,000 residents and loans over 500,000 items annually. With a
$2.7 million annual budget, the new Executive Director will work with a
committed staff (28 FTEs), an energetic Board and Advisory Board, New Canaan
local officials, an established donor group, and an appreciative community—81%
of New Canaan residents have active library cards—to achieve the Library’s
full potential. In add ition to managing day-to-day library operations, the key
objectives for the next Executive Director will be to move forward with the
strategic vision, participate in planning the new facility, lead a capital
campaign for its development, and enhance alternative funding streams to
continue an outstanding level of service, programs and growth.
