Syracuse-Turkey Creek Township Public Library seeks a new Executive Director. The library serves a population of 8,500 residents in Turkey Creek Township and the Town of Syracuse, a popular vacation destination. The friendly, relaxed atmosphere and proximity to larger towns and cities make Syracuse a great community.

The 10,000-square-foot Carnegie library is in the historic part of town, just a few blocks away from the lake, community center, and local historical museum. Since the library opened in 1921, it has grown into a vital resource for the community, offering diverse physical and digital collections, and providing opportunities for education and community engagement through effective programs and services.

A supportive Board of Trustees and an energetic, enthusiastic, and innovative staff help to create a welcoming environment that fosters community engagement and belonging. The library is well-supported by a generous property tax base. The next director will have the opportunity to build on this foundation, ensuring the library remains an essential asset for future generations.

The Board of Trustees have embarked on a building project to construct a new library near its current location, on land donated by the Town of Syracuse. The initial work — architectural design, ecological studies, surveys, and land assessments — are complete and construction is estimated to begin in the Spring of 2026.

Qualifications:

* ALA accredited master’s degree in library science

* 3-5 years of supervisory experience in a public library

* Minimum Indiana Public Library Certification level 3

This is a salary position commensurate with qualifications and experience, with a starting range of $65,000 to $75,000, based upon a 40-hour work week. Benefits include health insurance, life insurance, PTO, and employer retirement contributions.
