Branch Library Manager

The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library is seeking an experienced, community-minded leader to serve as Branch Library Manager at our Cortland Library location.

The Cortland Library has a proud history of growth and service to the community. The first branch of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library opened in Cortland in October 1977, housed in an old bookmobile parked in Willow Park. The library later moved to a rented house and then to a new building at 212 North High Street, which opened in December 1984.

An expansion followed in 1991, and the building was named in honor of the Viets sisters of Cortland, who generously donated the land for its location. To meet the growing needs of the community, the library relocated once again to its current home at 578 Lakeview Drive—a 10,636-square-foot facility situated on 2.82 acres of land purchased by W-TCPL in 2001. Ground was broken in August 2011, and the new library celebrated its Grand Opening on June 9, 2012.

The Branch Library Manager will lead a dedicated team of approximately 6 full-time equivalent staff members (a combination of full- and part-time employees). The successful candidate will oversee day-to-day operations, manage public services, develop community partnerships, and foster an inclusive, engaging environment for patrons and staff alike.
