The Opportunity
We are honored to partner with the Akron-Summit County Public Library Board of Trustees in leading the executive search for their next Executive Director. This leadership transition follows the announcement of Pamela Hickson-Stevenson’s retirement in late 2025, after a distinguished career spanning more than four decades in public library service, including the past seven years as ASCPL’s Executive Director.
The incoming Executive Director will build on a strong foundation of community service, innovation, and stewardship. With the passage of a $180 million bond issue for critical facility improvements and the upcoming 2027 operating levy, the new leader will play a pivotal role in guiding the library system through this period of renewal and growth.
More details are forthcoming including a detailed profile of the role, library system, and the wonderful Akron and Summit County community.
