The
fundamental reason that this classification exists is to serve as the assistant
director for the city-county library system.
The assistant director is responsible for the day-to-day operations of
the library system’s branches and departments.
Major work responsibilities include providing administrative support to
the Library Director, directly supervising the library system’s branch and
department heads, managing the system’s human resources functions, and
receiving and handling complaints. The
Assistant Director differs from the Library Director in that the Assistant
manages day-in, day-out operations matters relating to the branches and
departments while the Library Director provides the oversight of the entire
library system. The Assistant Director
is supervised by the Library Director.
