Located on the tip of the Monterey Peninsula in Central California, this coastal city is renowned for its historic ambiance, stunning views and unparalleled quality of life. The city is bounded on the north by the Monterey Bay, on the east by Monterey, on the south by Pebble Beach and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. Pacific Grove is located approximately 15 miles to the southwest of Salinas and 50 miles to the southwest of San Jose. The city includes a portion of the famed 17 Mile Drive, which links scenic coastal areas with the Del Monte Forest. Residents and visitors alike are drawn to its more than 3.5 miles of pristine sandy beaches, rocky outcroppings, and shoreline parks.

The ideal candidate is passionate about libraries and will thrive working in a small, team-oriented environment and will have a demonstrated ability to successfully lead a team.
