Library Board agrees on $115,000 salary for director

A follow up on This One, The Star Tribune Says The new Minneapolis Library Director Kit Hadley will be paid $115,000 annually under a contract approved last week by the Library Board. She started work this week. Her contract limits her to a salary of no more than $130,000 during its five-year life.
It also provides Hadley up to $7,500 annually for travel, parking and educational expenses, plus a library-paid downtown parking spot. She will start with 25 vacation days and 11 holidays.

Until recently Kit was the commissioner of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and has no background in library management.

Meanwhile… The new Minneapolis library, proposed as a civic centerpiece, could be postponed or even canceled as city leaders look for budget-slicing options.
