Search Begins for New Library Director

The Kanawha County Public Library system is looking for a new director, and the board this week approved paying a search firm up to $21,500 to help in the search. Illinois-based John Keister & Associates LLC will conduct the search, and if the new director would leave the position within the first year they would do another search at no additional cost. Executive Director Alan Engelbert is retiring at the end of July.
