Job Summary
The Mabee Library at Mid-America Nazarene University seeks a dynamic, service-minded Director of the Library to lead a highly collaborative and innovative team in advancing the library’s mission to build student success through high-impact practices for information literacy and academic enrichment. The library team consists of 2.0 FTE faculty librarians, 1.25 FTE staff librarians, and 12-15 student paraprofessionals. The paraprofessionals carry significant responsibility for one-on-one research consultation, copy cataloging, interlibrary loan, programming, archives, social media marketing, scanning services, and wide-format print services. This role requires a highly relational and visible leader—someone who thrives on engagement across campus. The Director must be comfortable and energized by regular interaction with students, faculty, and staff through classroom visits, consultations, meetings, and outreach activities. The new Director will inherit a well-established team, mission, and identity—and will be expected to continue in this outward-focused, collaborative direction while bringing their own vision and creativity to the next chapter of leadership.
