La Vergne Library Board Meeting (Audio Only) - 11/09/26

The La Vergne Library Board meeting on November 9, 2026, focused on planning for the recruitment of a new library director ahead of the current director’s retirement. The board reviewed proposed changes to the position description and discussed qualifications, candidate assessments and portfolios, staff participation, and 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins. The position is to be sent for compensation regrading; no salary amount was finalized. The board voted to authorize the director of human resources to initiate the recruitment and selection process, incorporating the board’s feedback.

Human Resources described posting the position through the city’s Dayforce system, which also distributes listings to LinkedIn and Indeed, and mentioned free public-sector job boards. Paid promotion, typically starting around $500, was discussed as a possible option if the applicant pool is insufficient, but no paid advertising or other spending was approved. No contract award, vendor selection, or other procurement activity was identified.
