After a series of appointments that didn’t work out, Mayor Dave Bronson announced he has named Virginia McClure, who previously worked for Anchorage's public libraries, to be the city's library director.
People walk outside the Z.J. Loussac Public Library on a rainy Sunday, August 22, 2021.
McClure is set to begin on Oct. 17, and would need to be confirmed by the Anchorage Assembly. She previously worked for the city’s public libraries as the manager of the Mountain View branch and as the assistant director for public services, a role she left in 2019. She also worked at public libraries in Lexington, Kentucky, according to a written statement from the mayor’s office.
In a written statement, Bronson said he is “thrilled that Virginia has decided to come back to work for the Anchorage Public Library” and that she “has the experience, compassion, and commitment to lead our wonderful libraries into the future.”
