Elkhart Public Library (EPL) in north-central Indiana seeks an experienced, collaborative, and accessible Executive Director to embrace its legacy of success and lead it to even greater heights.
From pioneering the bookmobile, to launching an outreach Book Bus and establishing a results-based tutoring program, EPL staff and leadership achieve success through creativity, collaboration, and determination. The next Executive Director will be challenged to continue this legacy by building effective relationships with elected officials and community leaders, and overseeing a capital campaign.
EPL’s Executive Director will report to a seven-member board of trustees appointed by local elected officials, administer a $9.9 million budget, and oversee 78 FTE across five locations serving nearly 100,000 residents. Expanding service to its growing Spanish-speaking population is a particular point of emphasis.
Simply put, EPL strives to “read with everyone” and build a strong and connected community of readers.
