Located in the heart of downtown Ypsilanti, the Ypsilanti District Library’s historic Michigan Avenue Branch will soon reopen following a catastrophic flood. YDL-Michigan Avenue has been completely restored, and will reopen with 3 new group study rooms, a dedicated tech lounge, and an entirely renovated Youth department.
The library is considered the “jewel” of downtown Ypsilanti, and it has been missed during its closure. When it reopens, we anticipate the branch will be busier and more heavily used than ever before. In response to public input, the Library also envisions a major addition to the branch in the next 5-10 years. We seek a proven, dynamic and innovative supervisor to manage the two-story, 12,000 square foot branch and provide leadership to its staff of 12 (8.75 FTE), amidst the challenges intrinsic to an urban setting.
