The Deschutes Public Library Board has decided to extend its search for a new library director. This decision came after the board interviewed two candidates on July 7 and 8.
Search for the Right Leader
According to Library Board President Ann Malkin, the board is committed to finding the right leader for the district as it enters an exciting time. The board aims to ensure a suitable director is selected for the community and library staff.
Malkin stated, ‘We value the experience and enthusiasm the two candidates brought to the table. We are in an exciting time for the library district and the board is committed to making sure we make the right decision for the community and library staff. We will take a brief pause to refocus our search, with a goal of finding the right director for this vibrant and growing community.’
The board will discuss appointing an interim director at its August 12 meeting, as current Library Director Todd Dunkelberg is scheduled to retire on August 28. Dunkelberg has served the library system for 26 years, with the last 16 years as director.
