Marsh’s Library, founded in 1707, was Ireland’s first public library and is one of the last public libraries from 18th-century Europe still used for its original purpose. Renowned for its historic collections and beautiful architecture, the library is both a busy tourist attraction and an important repository of early modern books and manuscripts. We strive to preserve our historic buildings and collections and make the library relevant to new and diverse audiences.
Marsh’s Library is seeking a dynamic Assistant Director to join its team of fourteen full-time and part-time staff, fourteen volunteers, and several interns from industry and academic programmes in Ireland and internationally. Reporting to the Director, the Assistant Director will have significant input into the strategic direction of the library as well as its day-to-day operations.
The Assistant Director will have a particular focus on readers in the library, exhibitions, financial oversight, and public outreach. The successful candidate will be able to pursue his/her own research interests in the context of the library collections.
This is a rare opportunity for a qualified professional to play a key leadership role in one of Ireland’s most iconic and intellectually rich cultural institutions.
