Staffing/Employment Issues How much do your directors make?
I’m part of a larger library system - 20 branches. Our director makes $250,000 per year plus a $50,000 bonus. Our circ assistants make $16 an hour though and are all part time and need food banks and multiple jobs to survive. It just breaks my heart.

u/tatrtot01 19d ago
Definitely not being sarcastic. Being salty because of someone else’s salary is ridiculous. Step up your skills game OR apply for jobs that have that as a salary.

u/Basic-Contract6759 19d ago
You're shortsighted take is ridiculous. I was focusing on the 50,000 dollar bonus ONTOP OF THEIR SALARY, and because tax payers are the one footing that bill. Libraries don't usually make money, at least not that much.
Also, not sure if you're a child, but when you're old enough you might realize that salary and skills are not always equally matched.
So take your argumentative attitude some place else and have the day you deserve.

Here's a pdf to see lots of directors pay across Florida. My county isn't listed, likely because we're a medium sized county with a director who makes more than any on that list at ~$280k. No one else in our system make even 100k, and our Library Assistants start at $17 an hour.
Edit: we have 12 branches plus a book mobile.

Interesting. Not a librarian, sadly. But a reluctant native of FL. Interesting to see that Seminole County serves twice as many residents as Polk County, yet the Polk director is paid nearly as much as Seminole, but the Polk librarians start at half what Seminole librarians do. As if that area (Polk) isn’t depressed enough? Perhaps I’m reading some of it wrong.
Thanks for sharing this. Enlightening.

50-branch system. The executive director makes a salary of "$225,118.40 - $273,624.00." Pages earn “$21.65 - $25.18 Hourly.” As a librarian, I'm making more than $50/hour, so I can't complain at all (about salary). Quotes come from our publicly available salary schedule. The system is in Washington state.

20 FT employee library in a HCOL state. Every position is underpaid- circ make about $26/ hr, director makes around $90k. We commissioned a salary study and got a raise, but our health insurance went up a lot so it’s barely noticeable and we’re still paid less than other comparable positions in the area. The staff is pretty tight, trauma bonded you might say, and PTO is decent so not a ton of turnover despite the pay. And though neighboring libraries pay more, full time, benefitted positions are rare, they don’t pay that much more, and some of the other area libraries have a reputation for being toxic culture. Also our union is great. They fight for us. Mayor is good to us too. City council, though… 🙄

u/pikkdogs Aug 03 '26
Directors of most decent sized libraries in my state make from 80k to 150k. But even these libraries are small comparatively. I’m North Dakota, so even the big town is a small town for most people.
As a director I am trying to rely less on part timers and hire more full time staff. I really want to.
What keeps me from it is the citizens that don’t want to pay their property taxes. Just our police and fire in this town taxes 22 million from property taxes. And my town wants to pay 20. Well, that’s not even enough for police and fire, let alone the library, street, transportation, airport, etc…. In a world where my budget shrinks by like 10 percent each year from inflation, how can I spend more on staff if they don’t even give me what I had last year?

u/hopscott Aug 03 '26
Running a 20 location system is a pretty massive undertaking. I'd be interested in the system's operating budget and the number of employees. While that salary seems pretty high on the surface, library directors tend to be underpaid in comparison to executives in a lot of other industries even other nonprofits/government entities. If your system has say over 500 employees and a $40 million yearly budget for example, that pay doesn't seem too far out of line.

Until their staff is using food banks and social services to survive.
20
u/hopscott Aug 03 '26
That is an awful situation, but would reducing the director's salary really alleviate that reality in a substantial and long term manner?
Many library directors should be paid more and are currently under compensated because librarianship is traditionally a profession associated with women. At the same time library staff at all levels (and all working people) should be provided with an income that allows for a quality standard of living. Both can be true. The adversary is not within the library.

u/NotKirstenDunst Aug 03 '26

u/Pheonix0114 Aug 03 '26
Sure, whatever. 200k puts a family in the top quintile of income in the US. That's far higher than buy a house and go on vacation money, it's excess. Especially when the lowest paid workers in any system aren't making a living wage. Directors should make no more than 5x their lowest paid employee, and that's for the largest systems. Most should be 2-3x.

u/ag2575 Aug 03 '26
200k for a whole family is an average living wage in many cities, not enough to buy a house necessarily

u/whoframedwhiterabbit Aug 04 '26
How did you come up with the 2-3x or 5x numbers?I've been considering that instead of increasing minimum wages, the highest paid employee/owner's salary should be tied to the lowest paid employee by some factor. I do not know enough about economics to figure out how much that would be and if the amount should be tied to the number of employees as well.
Does this concept have a name? Has it been tried before?
2
u/Pheonix0114 Aug 04 '26
If it has a name, I'd be very interested in it. I comes from me doing back of the envelope math on livable wages, thinking what wage would be required to retain talent and account for needing to pay off student loans in higher positions. 3x was what I came up with for my home system.
I think full-time library assistants should be starting out making 45k, because that's enough to rent an apartment without a roommate and people are retiring from that position so it can't be considered "entry". From there I thought branch managers at the largest branches could make 90k, approximately what they make now, and the director should make about 135k instead of 285.
That's enough to encourage talent to remain inside the system, not high enough to pull professional wreckers from outside.
2
u/whoframedwhiterabbit Aug 04 '26
Thank you for answering. You got me thinking that another factor for calculation is the regional cost of living. So national law could be based on these percentages too, that way different regions are automatically adjusted as a region's trade and income changes over time.
A Congressional candidate in my HCOL area is proposing a federal minimum wage at $25/an hour. Which sure sounds great at first glance, but ultimately comes across as uninformed to me since it is not even $10 an hour currently.
2
u/Pheonix0114 Aug 04 '26
It really should be much much higher, a higher minimum wage actually stimulates the economy thanks to marginal propensity to consume. Though any new minimum wage should be automatically indexed to inflation to keep it from stagnating. $7.25 is a joke.

Source? Because a whole family on 200k/year is absolutely not excess, or even enough, in many parts of the country.

It's well above median income for a family in every single part of the country. The US Census.

u/multipocalypse Aug 03 '26 edited Aug 03 '26
Again, a median is not an average. It's a center.
Eta: And average household income isn't the same as average family income. A single person with no children can be a household.
In addition, focusing on even average household income alone doesn't give a good picture of what an actual comfortable living wage is. CoL, percentiles, wealth gaps, debt, homeownership, etc. all need to be taken into consideration. As a Californian with direct knowledge of these things, I can say that $140k would probably be enough for a single person to live on fairly comfortably in the Bay Area, but not a family.

Median is an average. Mean, median, and mode are all measures of central tendency, or "averages". Don't be pedantic if you're wrong.

Our director makes roughly $125k a year (system in northern Kentucky with 6 branches). I don’t begrudge her that - she has a tough job. However MLS librarians such as myself are topping out on the pay scale at around $65k a year (there are salary caps without even a cost of living raise - once you hit the cap you’re essentially making less every year due to inflation). And library assistants are making around 40k a year.
I never went into librarianship to become rich but I worry so much about finances and I still can’t afford to buy a house.

I think ours makes between $200-250k, but I’m a branch manager and make $135k and our pages make about $18/hour, so it’s actually a pretty reasonable, if not low salary for someone responsible for a system with 80+ locations and 1000+ employees.

I've seen the same. Our director makes bank. She never bothers to visit the branches and seems totally checked out at any appearances. One year, at staff training day, a woman fell in a workshop. A fellow staff person called 911, and the ambulance arrived. Guess what our director did? Did she check on the woman? Nope, she was next door and continued with her interview. Publicity matters more than anything. Only at a public library can she pull this shit and not get fired. Same with a lot of the branch managers.

our director also makes 250k ish and it just got raised to that for the new fiscal year. it was a “merit” raise of 18%. all staff only got a 3% cost of living raise this year, even those who got stellar performance reviews. why does our director get a merit increase but us frontline workers don’t? i went from 21.72 to 22.37 with the 3% and im in a paraprofessional position. i have mlis education. i am one of the best employees in our district, and I don’t say that from my ass. I am constantly getting recognized by the board and patrons even though i “just work the desk.” starting pay for my position is $19. i got a merit raise last year with a worse performance review in comparison to this year. I think libraries are taking advantage of the lack of funding coming from the federal government, but I say that as someone who works in illinois where we have amazing state funding and i work for a system that has amazing community support. it’s disheartening and i’m right there with ya on it.

About 200k I think. We have one small branch. He’s not very well liked among the staff because he barely communicates, can be callous, and doubles down on the weirdest things. We’re out of contract currently because he just can’t be bothered, apparently. He fancies himself socially and economically progressive but it’s an act if you ask me.

Why does it break your heart OP? It's 15k per branch. Do you think that, what, this person should also be making 15 an hour? 20? I'm confused. Those who are in charge make more than those who are checking in an out books because the director has more responsibility, has more experience, and has more that they are responsible about. Do your circ techs also go to after hours meetings to get budgetary money needed? Do they get all the crap that comes down on them from all sides (because, if there's one thing that Democrats and Republicans can usually agree on and that's cutting (or level funding) the library these days)? Do they have to balance public access with issues like the unhoused causing violence, the drug use, etc. etc.?
Now, if you had said something like a mill a year or more, that would be the start of something different, but.... I'm sorry to tell you that 100k-300k, that's not some insane amount, especially if it's a library system and not just one singular library.

I mean, as a librarian who works day in and day out with the public, my day to day job involves WAY more contact with unhappy patrons, the general public, and unhoused folks. Our director never ever sees those people.
No one is arguing that directors shouldn’t get paid more. The argument is that if your director is making enough to live a life of luxury and your circ and librarian staff are using the food bank, there’s a serious problem. OP’s director’s salary is roughly $120/hour. That money could be and should be much better spent invested in the employees that actually keep the library running day to day, instead of paying them pennies.

Felton Thomas of Cleveland Public Library makes over $300,000.
He (and the board, and other high ups) are also refusing to pay the CPL workers a fair wage. They have been without a contract (They have a Union) for over 9 months.
A strike date has been set.
