Associate Director

The Cornwall Library

ABOUT THE CORNWALL LIBRARY Nestled in the hills of Cornwall, Connecticut, the Cornwall Library is far more than a place to borrow books. It is the cultural and intellectual heart of a remarkable community, where literature, the arts, and civic life converge.&ldquo;The Cornwall Library is a welcoming community resource for all, promoting life-long learning and the free exchange of ideas.&rdquo;Founded on the belief that great libraries belong to everyone, the Cornwall Library has grown significantly in recent years &ndash; in programming, visibility, community reach, and fundraising. What was once a small, quietly beloved local institution has evolved into a dynamic cultural organization with an ambitious programming calendar, thriving annual fundraising events, a healthy endowment, and a board of engaged, skilled community leaders who are ready to invest in the library's future. Literacy, in its broadest sense, is the heartbeat of everything the library does: from its children's programs and community reading initiatives to its celebrated speaker series and the writers and thinkers who call Cornwall home.THE OPPORTUNITY The Cornwall Library is at an intentional inflection point. With a planned leadership transition underway, the board has taken time to think carefully about what the library needs next.The board is looking for someone who will arrive with energy and ideas, engage deeply with the community, and build &mdash; growing the library's fundraising, expanding its programming, and establishing the organizational infrastructure that makes it a model small-town cultural institution.The incoming Executive Director will have the rare privilege of shaping the role itself. With a supportive and engaged board, a dedicated staff, a strong financial foundation, and a community that genuinely loves its library, this is an opportunity to make an outsized impact in a place that is ready for it.This is a full-time, exempt salaried position.

The ED leads externally &mdash; cultivating donors, engaging the community, and serving as the public face of the library &mdash; while ensuring that internal operations, staff, and programs run with excellence. The ED reports to the Board of Directors and works in close partnership with board leadership. As the organization matures and the board transitions from operational involvement to governance, the ED will have increasing ownership over day-to-day leadership and decision-making.Leadership &amp; Vision<ul><li>Serve as the primary steward of the library's mission, ensuring vision and values are articulated and guide the strategy and day to day leadership</li><li>Lead the development and implementation of a multi-year strategic plan in partnership with the board</li><li>Foster a culture of excellence, accountability, and genuine community service across all library functions</li><li>Take initiative &mdash; identify opportunities, propose solutions, and act with confidence and good judgment</li><li>Develop and sustain a motivated, high-performing staff team</li></ul>Fundraising &amp; Development <ul><li>Lead all fundraising efforts &mdash; cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding individual donors</li><li>Build a programmatic development function: move beyond periodic giving toward a strategic, year-round donor stewardship program</li><li>Own the library's signature fundraising events, including Books &amp; Blooms and the Labor Day Arts Sale</li><li>Develop a legacy and planned-giving program, engaging long-time patrons and community members</li><li>Pursue grant opportunities from foundations, government sources, and community organizations</li><li>Provide regular, transparent financial reporting to the board and ensure fiscal stewardship of the endowment</li></ul>Community &amp; External Relations <ul><li>Serve as the visible, energetic face of the Cornwall Library in the community and beyond</li><li>Cultivate relationships across Cornwall's full community &mdash; longtime residents and newer arrivals</li><li>Build partnerships with local organizations, schools, civic groups, and cultural institutions</li><li>Lead communications and public relations &mdash; ensuring the library has a compelling, consistent presence across channels</li><li>Represent the library at community events, board gatherings, and donor meetings</li></ul>Programming &amp; Operations <ul><li>Partner with the Program Committee to expand and diversify the high-quality program calendar</li><li>Ensure literary, children's, arts, nature, and community programming continues to reflect the library's identity and ambitions</li><li>Oversee library operations, including collection management, technology, and facilities</li><li>Identify and address organizational infrastructure gaps &mdash; systems, technology, and processes that support a more autonomous organization</li><li>Ensure compliance with all applicable nonprofit governance, legal, and financial requirements</li></ul>Board Partnership <ul><li>Work openly and collaboratively with the Board of Directors &mdash; a board that is engaged, skilled, and committed to getting this right</li><li>Support the board's transition from operational involvement to governance: build staff capacity so the board can govern rather than operate</li><li>Provide regular updates, candid assessments, and strategic recommendations to board leadership</li><li>Support board development, including recruitment, onboarding, and committee effectiveness</li></ul>WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR The Cornwall Library is not looking for a manager.
