Executive Leadership Team

In December 2006, PLCMC embarked on a process of reorganization to better serve the community. Called Imagine 2010, this initiative refers to the library’s goal of becoming America’s best public library in service to the community by 2010. The new organizational structure is now defined under four key areas: Library Experiences; Community Engagement; Research, Innovation & Strategy; and Organizational Resources. This team is responsible for both the strategic vision and day-to-day operations of the organization.
