Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson has named his fourth pick for director of the city’s libraries.
Bronson announced Thursday evening that Virginia McClure would serve as Anchorage’s director of library services. McClure is set to start Oct. 17, pending confirmation by the Assembly. The position has been vacant since last November, when Judy Eledge resigned before her confirmation hearing. Eledge has since been the de facto head of the library, serving as deputy director, which doesn’t require Assembly approval. Her tenure has been the subject of anof homophobia, racism and general mistreatment of library staff. City officials say Eledge will remain deputy director under McClure.
McClure is the fourth person to be considered for the head of the library. Before Eledge’s appointment, Bronson selected Sami Graham to lead the department. Graham’s confirmation, with members citing a lack of a master’s degree in library science, a prerequisite for the job. Graham was subsequently named the mayor’s chief of staff.
