Hall Co.: Library director recommendation coming Tuesday

GAINESVILLE - The search for a new director of the Hall County Library System apparently is nearing an end.

The library board meets Tuesday night and plans an executive session dealing with personnel followed by a recommendation from the search committee. The board has been looking for a replacement for Adrian Mixson, who retired at the end of May.

Board members said at a meeting June 2 that about a dozen people from three states, the majority from Georgia, had applied for the job, including interim director Lisa McKinney.

"We have some really good, strong applicants. We've spent a lot of hours going through these, calling references, trying to make sure they're certified and qualified. We've spent most of our time screening up until now," Andy Henderson, Board Chairman, said at the time, adding he hoped the search committee would be ready for a recommendation at the Tuesday meeting.
