Three Finalists Announced for Marathon County Public Library Director Position


Link to November 3 Wausau Daily Herald article.

Excerpt: Three Wisconsin residents made the final list of candidates vying to become the next director of the Marathon County Public Library, including one person already working in the county system.

The library's Board of Trustees met Monday to narrow from five to three the candidates seeking to replace retiring Director Phyllis Christensen.
The candidates are Walter Burkhalter of Burnett, Garrett Erickson of Weston and Ralph Illick Jr. of Sussex, in Waukesha County.

The new director of the Marathon County Public Library, or MCPL, will oversee a system with nine branches, a staff of about 50 people, and a budget of about $3.6 million in 2011.

The salary starts at $70,745, but the MCPL Board of Trustees could increase the starting pay depending on the new hire's experience. The benefits package costs the county about $34,000 more, said Frank Matel, director of the Marathon County Employee Resources Department
