LibraryLinkNJ</a> seeks a creative and innovative leader—responsive to member, staff and state-wide needs and skilled in focusing the efforts of a team of talented professionals—as its next Executive Director. LibraryLinkNJ is the single, statewide, multi-type
library cooperative in New Jersey, working in partnership with its 2,600 multi-type member libraries and the New Jersey State Library to provide access to excellent library services for 8.79 million residents in twenty-one counties. With a $2.2 million annual
budget and 4 FTE system staff, LibraryLinkNJ is a member-focused organization with a reputation for providing effective continuing education, strong outreach services, high-level support for innovative technologies, and statewide delivery to its multi-type
library membership. The Cooperative has over 1100 voting representatives from over 2,600 public and private school, public, academic, institutional, corporate, health sciences and special libraries and library-related agencies. A member-elected Executive
Board meets monthly to oversee the programs and services of the organization. LibraryLinkNJ is a 501(c)(3) organization formed from the 2010 consolidation of the four regional cooperatives and is funded by the New Jersey State Library; members join at no charge
and pay no dues.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt">From the mountains of High Point to the shore areas of the Atlantic Ocean, New Jersey is a model of geographic diversity. It is the 11<sup>th</sup> most populous and the most densely populated of the 50 states. Bordering New Jersey
on the north and east are the metropolitan areas of New York and on the west and southwest by Pennsylvania and Delaware. Known as the Garden State, the state still lives up to its name, and continues to have major cities and industries, pleasant suburbs and
rural areas located throughout the state and easily accessible through a wide network transportation system. The LibraryLinkNJ office is currently located in Piscataway; however, the new office (November 2020) will be in Ewing, NJ. For more information on
LibraryLinkNJ, the area, and the State, please visit <a href="http://www.bradburymiller.com/librarylinknjlinks.htm">
