Director Search Committee
Because the work of the MBLC affects library services for all types of libraries and all residents, the Search Committee is a diverse group with representatives from school, academic, special and public libraries. The Massachusetts Library System, Boston Public Library as the Library for the Commonwealth, the automated networks and the various organizations that support libraries are also represented.
The Director Search Committee was appointed by the Board of Library Commissioners at their January 16, 2013 meeting.
