Are you the next leader for Howard County Library System (MD), a world-class system that embodies the philosophy, “Libraries = Education”? Do you want to work with a seven-member Board of Trustees and community partners to lead the design and delivery of curriculum for all ages, deliver extraordinary customer service, unleash creativity and innovation, and embrace the Howard County Library System vision? Howard County Library System (HCLS) is an award-winning educational institution that ranks among the finest in the country. With seven branches, a $22.5 million annual budget, and a 239 FTE stellar staff, it is a 21st-century library model, with a position, purpose, and curriculum worthy of study and consideration by every library in America, if not the world. HCLS’ unique focus on three pillars: Self-Directed Education, Research Assistance & Instruction, and Instructive & Enlightening Experiences positions HCLS to fulfill its mission of “We deliver high-quality public education for all.” In 2016, HCLS loaned 7.9 million items and welcomed 2.2 million visitors.
