<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Due to retirement, the Board of Trustees is seeking an accomplished leader who will continue the nearly 150-year tradition of a positive, community-centered culture to become the Library’s next Director. The
Adrian District Library is an independent governing unit, serving a population of over 21,000 with an operating budget of nearly $1 million and a dedicated, enthusiastic staff of 12 (3 with the MLIS degree). The community demonstrated their continuing strong
support for the Library with a positive vote for a 10-year operational millage in May 2015. The Library building, in the heart of downtown Adrian, underwent a major renovation in 2009, adding 3200 square feet that includes a Teen Zone, a quiet seating area
in the Loft, a Café, and a renovated Tween space in the Youth Services area.<br>

Adrian is located in southeast Michigan, and is home to Adrian College and Siena Heights University, as well as a satellite campus of Jackson College. Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Toledo are all within an easy drive. Additional information about the Library may
