After six years, Forest Park Public Library Director Pilar Shaker will be stepping down from her role on October 28.
During her time at FPPL, Pilar has seen the Library through many changes including a major renovation as well as the pandemic.
Pilar gave 11 weeks notice and has been working hard to get the Library set for the transition to new leadership.
Beginning on October 17, Sue Quinn will begin working as the Interim Director. Quinn is the former director of the River Forest Public Library.
The Library’s Board of Trustees have engaged Dieters & Todd Library Consultants to recruit and hire a new library director. A committee has formed with Library trustees and staff members to work with the consultants.
The goal is to hire a director before the end of the year with a start date in February.
The position will be posted on RAILS Library Job Board as well as the Library’s job page. If there are questions about the position, please contact the consultants through the job ad.
