name is Dan Bradbury and I am a consultant with Gossage Sager
Associates/Bradbury Associates--a firm specializing in executive searches in
the library field. We are currently helping the Board of Trustees of the
Lexington Public Library find their next Executive Director and we are reaching
out to some of the library leadership in neighboring states to seek suggestions
for potential candidates for the position. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=3 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>This is an outstanding opportunity
for an experienced executive level administrator with strong organizational and
people skills from a smaller system, or a developing leader in a second tier
position at a similar sized library who is ready to step up to the
directorship. Lexington Public Library serves a combined city-county
population of more than 270,000 through a central library and five branch
facilities. Lexington Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) is the
second-largest municipality in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky"
title=Kentucky><font color=black><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:

title="United States"><font color=black><span style='color:windowtext;
text-decoration:none;text-underline:none'>United States</span></font></a>.
The Library has a staff of 192 FTE, a dedicated tax levy yielding a budget of
$14.5 million, a committed Library Board and Advisory Committee, a successful
Library Friends organization, and a growing LPL Foundation—so all of the
pieces are in place to achieve new levels of excellence in serving its public.
Additional information on the Library, the City and position can be found at <u><font

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The Director reports to a
seven-member Board of Trustees—appointed by the Mayor and approved by the
Urban County Council—and partners with LFUCG departments, state and
federal officials, and civic/professional organizations and groups to achieve
the Library’s mission and goals. Requirements include a
master’s degree in library science and a minimum of seven years of
progressively responsible public library experience in a management position,
including at least four years of executive level experience as director of a
smaller library system, or deputy, assistant, or associate director of a
comparable or larger system. Prior experience reporting to and working
effectively with a governing board is highly desirable. See <u><font
