Library district picks new leader
The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District today selected a former Portland, Ore., librarian to lead the district.
Jeanne Goodrich, an independent consultant and former deputy director of the Multnomah County Library in Portland, was tapped for the executive director position that will be left vacant by Daniel Walters, who is retiring.
The district will move into contract negotiations with Goodrich to determine her salary should she accept the position, spokeswoman Patricia Marvel said.
The other finalists for the position were Diane Duquette, director of libraries for the Kern County Library in Bakersfield, Calif., and Nancy Ledeboer, library director for the Pima County Public Library in Tucson, Calif.
