Full Job Description

San Mateo County Libraries is excited to announce an opportunity for passionate and experienced leaders to join our award-winning, forward-thinking organization. We are looking for team members who are flexible, creative, and committed to delivering exceptional library services that meet the dynamic needs of our communities. Every day, our libraries inspire, inform, and engage residents across San Mateo County. If you are energized by collaboration, committed to equity, and ready to make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you!

As a Library Services Manager, you will play a vital role in shaping our library’s future, working under the general direction of the Library Director or Deputy Director to lead teams and system-wide initiatives. We are seeking visionary leaders to oversee key divisions, including Communications, Outreach, Collections, Customer Service, and Operations (IT, HR, and Facilities), as well as multi-generational Programs and Services spanning youth, families, adults, 55+, and maker spaces. This recruitment will fill current and future vacancies; if you have an ambitious vision and a passion for public library leadership, we encourage you to apply.

While this recruitment may be used for additional areas of library services management, we are currently seeking to fill two immediate leadership vacancies:

Library Communications Officer: Reporting to the Director of Library Services, this role leads communications, marketing, and public relations strategies that promote library services and advance the Library’s mission across our diverse communities. This role includes oversight of the Library’s brand and messaging, internal and external communications, media relations, and digital platforms. Individuals with communications experience who are passionate about supporting community engagement and amplifying library services are encouraged to apply.
Partnerships and Outreach Manager: Reporting to the Deputy Director of Support Services, this role will lead our efforts to build sustainable, high-impact relationships with community organizations, schools, and local partners to expand library access beyond our walls. This role oversees targeted community engagement initiatives and directs outreach and our Bookmobile services to provide innovative programming for diverse and underserved populations.

This is a chance to lead and inspire teams, develop responsive and innovative services, and help bring our Strategic Plan to life. You will work at the intersection of strategy and community, aligning people and projects to meet real needs and deliver measurable results. We are especially interested in candidates who bring a strong equity lens to their work, value diverse perspectives, and have experience engaging effectively with people from all backgrounds.

The ideal candidate should be energized by new challenges, driven to make a difference, and skilled at communicating across a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. You are someone who leads with empathy, builds strong relationships, and sees change as an opportunity to grow.

The ideal candidate will have the ability to:

Lead and collaborate with fellow managers and staff across the system to guide public services and advance library-wide priorities.
Build and lead a high-performing, adaptable team fostering a culture of accountability, continuous learning, and innovation.
Inspire staff to embrace a growth mindset, take smart risks, and think creatively to deliver outstanding service.
Cultivate strong, collaborative relationships with community partners and stakeholders across the County.
Help shape and execute strategic goals and initiatives that align with the Library’s vision, mission, values, and brand.
Oversee the effective design, implementation, and evaluation of programs and services, using data and feedback to prototype solutions that drive improvement.
Stay current on trends and emerging technologies, applying best practices and creative thinking to meet evolving community needs.
Represent the Library in community partnerships, the Peninsula Library System consortia, and internal committees with professionalism and purpose.
Lead the development of responsive policies and guide staff through change with clarity and empathy.
Develop and manage budgets and grants, ensuring responsible stewardship of resources.
Communicate clearly and effectively - whether presenting ideas, writing reports, or engaging with diverse audiences.
Use a collaborative, solution-oriented approach to problem-solving and decision-making.
Possess a master's degree from an accredited college or university with coursework in public administration, communications, library and information science, education, business administration, or a related field.
At least four years of increasingly responsible experience including two years of supervisory experience.

About San Mateo County Libraries

We serve approximately 280,000 residents and cover a service area of 351 square miles. Our 13 community libraries are open 7 days per week and are vibrant hubs for learning, creativity, connection, and exploration.

From book clubs to bike clinics, video game design to resume workshops, Mid-Autumn Festivals to salsa tastings—our libraries offer a rich mix of programs and events that reflect and celebrate the diversity of the people we serve. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, information, or a sense of belonging, San Mateo County Libraries is where community comes to thrive.
