Evanston Public Library Board of Trustees seeks resident input on search for a new library director

The Evanston Public Library Board of Trustees is seeking resident input in its search for a new library director and has launched a brief community survey to get residents’ thoughts.

“We are very fortunate to have effective leadership in place, allowing for an intentional search process,” said Library Board President Tracy Fulce. “We are moving deliberately and thoughtfully to identify what we believe is most important for library director candidates to know about our library and our community.”

In keeping with its commitment to transparency and community input coupled with changes in the job market, the Library Board is requesting feedback from residents early in its search process. Responses will be used to fundamentally shape the search for the best candidate prior to the interview stage.

The Library is more than a building of books; it is a place to meet, connect, learn and explore. To learn more, visit www.epl.org.
