    Santa Barbara is among the world’s most desirable places to work and live. Quietly nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara represents the essence of Southern California — the art and culture of a metropolitan city with the heart and hospitality of a small, beautiful coastal town. The City is a 2-hour drive north of Los Angeles or a short hop from any corner of the world via the Santa Barbara Airport. Santa Barbara provides a unique living environment. The City offers its approximately 89,000 residents a year-round mild climate with an average temperature in the 70s, magnificent beaches, mountains, and parks within minutes of a bustling downtown. The City is seeking an outgoing, approachable, and highly organized candidate with the ability to adeptly balance internal and external demands of the role. The ideal candidate is a friendly, approachable, effective communicator with a focus in customer service and community involvement.

    Qualified candidates have graduated from a four-year college or university with a Bachelor's degree in Library Science or related field; ten or more years of progressively responsible professional and managerial experience involving library services, budgeting, and providing community services, including five or more years of supervisory and administrative experience; or an equivalent combination of training and experience. A Master’s degree in Library Science or Public Administration or a related field is desirable. The annual salary range for the Library Director is $201,192 – 244,551; placement within this range is dependent on qualifications and experience.
