Overall Position Purpose: The Anne Arundel County Public Library (AACPL) is governed by an 18-member Board of Library Trustees authorized under State of Maryland law dating to the 1940s. Under its 1936 Articles of Incorporation, the Board is self-perpetuating, meaning Trustees are appointed by the Board pursuant to established bylaws and State law. AACPL receives its primary funding from Anne Arundel County government, with the elected County Executive proposing annual operating and capital budgets for approval by the seven-member County Council. The State of Maryland provides significant annual funding support to the library system, representing approximately 8% of the operating budget, while the County provides approximately 90%. The Anne Arundel County Public Library Foundation also provides substantial financial support for priorities beyond County funding capacity.

Under the direction of the Board of Library Trustees, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) provides strategic leadership for AACPL and oversees the delivery of library services, programs, collections, and community resources throughout Anne Arundel County. The CEO advances the library's reputation and impact locally, statewide, and nationally through advocacy, partnership development, and promotion of AACPL's mission and services. The CEO establishes organizational priorities and directs the effective stewardship of the library's workforce, operating and capital budgets, facilities, and long-range capital planning. The CEO leads a high-performing Executive Team and fosters a culture of excellence, innovation, transparency, accountability, and public service. The CEO serves as an ex officio member of both the Board of Library Trustees and the Library Foundation Board of Directors. The CEO serves as the chief ambassador and public voice for AACPL.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Master’s Degree in Library Science or its equivalent from an American Library Association accredited program.
  • At least seven years of public library experience in an administrative leadership capacity, including five years of executive-level management experience.
