Executive Director

Manheim Community Library has need of an outgoing, community-oriented, and knowledgeable Executive Director. The new director of the Manheim Community Library will be responsible for the library’s day-to-day operations, representing the library to the community, and collaborating with volunteers, patrons and colleagues. The director will ensure that Library Board of Trustees’ strategic plan and policies are implemented. Most importantly, the director will bring a love of people, a passion for public libraries, and the energy to envision new possibilities for the library.

The new director will have an opportunity to assist with the finishing touches and implementation of the relocation to our beautiful new facility. We are excited to finish the construction phase and make the move over the next six months.

The Manheim Community Library operates independently as a member of the Lancaster County Library System and serves over 20,000 residents in Manheim Borough, Penn Township, and a significant portion of Rapho Township. Currently located in Manheim Borough with the new facility just outside the borough in Penn Township, the library serves as a major community center, well known for its children’s programs and workshops, active participation in community events, experienced and energetic staff, and collaboration with area organizations in serving our community in myriad ways.

We seek a director committed to promoting the library within the community, continuing our excellent relationships with all constituencies. We envision a director who will work with the trustees and community volunteers in developing and implementing a new strategic plan, building on our successes in creating a new future.
