At its meeting on April 9, 2014, the Pierce County Library Board of Trustees authorized a $26,000 contract with Bradbury Associates/Gossage Sager Associates to conduct the search for the library system’s next executive director.
The firm, headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., was chosen for its experience filling library directorships across the nation. Neel Parikh, Pierce County Library’s executive director of 20 years, retires effective Nov. 1, 2014. It is hoped to have a new director on board before the end of the year.
