We have been blessed with strong, courageous, dedicated Directors who have led and shaped this institution into a community jewel.  Kay Schwartz has been one such leader.  And now, as is true for all longstanding organizations, we will be saying farewell as Kay looks ahead to retirement and we begin the process of searching for the next Director who will lead us into the future.

Kay has guided this organization through extraordinary challenges as well as triumphs. She will leave the Library in solid financial shape, with a strong staff, a fully renovated building, and a foundation upon which to build for the future.

The Board has retained Bradbury Miller Associates of Canton, OH to identify potential candidates for the position of Executive Director.  Our current schedule will have the new Director hired and ready for a leadership transition by June of 2023.  You can stay up to date on the search process through news posts on our website or by following the Library on Facebook.

We are grateful for Kay’s dedicated service and active involvement in seeking a successor.  We wish her nothing but the best as she moves toward a new phase of life.

Reta Stanley
President,
Flint Public Library Board of Trustees
