<b><span style="color:black">Director – East Orange Public Library (NJ)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;background:white">
<span style="color:black">The <a href="https://www.eopl.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#2E6467">East Orange Public Library (NJ)</span></a> Board of Trustees seek a dynamic, motivated, and politically savvy leader to be its next Director. Serving
over 68,000+ residents with a $4.4 million budget and 36 FTE from a single location, the library is a necessary and critical resource to its community. The nine-member board desires a director who will promote the library by establishing connections through
outreach and advocacy in the community. Key initiatives include completing the ongoing library renovation process; reestablishing the community’s connection to library services and programs post-pandemic; maintaining and growing the organization’s relationship
with the city and local partners; and shepherding the library through a strategic planning process. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify;background:white">
<span style="color:black">As a part of the greater metropolitan New York area, East Orange provides all the amenities of big-city life with a small-town feel. Nicknamed “The Crossroads of New Jersey,” East Orange is conveniently located at the intersection
of the Garden State Parkway and Interstate 280, just several miles from Newark Liberty International Airport and less than 30 minutes from New York City with two train stations that offer direct service to midtown Manhattan. Comprised of five distinct wards,
East Orange is a diverse cultural mecca of people representing countries from around the globe (including Africa and the Caribbean) and combines the best of urban and suburban living. Spacious and affordable housing, main commercial corridors, distinctive
Caribbean and Southern cuisine, a growing population of young professionals, transit access, and historic green spaces make East Orange a quintessential city to call home. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
