The City of New Braunfels has an exceptional opportunity for a highly experienced and successful leader to join one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and top tourist destinations located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country!

Under the direction of City Management, the new Library Director will oversee a department with an adopted operating budget for FY24 of $3,118,857 and 32.75 team members that encompass the New Braunfels Public Library system.  The department is responsible for the Westside Community Center, the Bookmobile Operations & Programming, Material Circulation & Management, along with both Youth & Adult Programming. The department is planning to expand with a new SE Library Branch as part of a planned bond project in the future.  This position also serves as the liaison to the Library Advisory Board, Friends of the Library (FOL) and the New Braunfels Public Library (NBPL) Foundation. 

The city prefers for candidates to have a Master’s Degree in Library Science or Library & Information Science from an American Library Association accredited institution, or shall have the ability to acquire it within one (1) year after hire.  Candidates shall also have at least five (5) years’ experience directing public library operations.  Prior experience managing and programming multiple facilities, as well as the design, construction, and staffing of a new library is a huge plus!
