BRRL serves communities that span three municipalities, two counties, and one city with 21 full-time and 18 part-time staff. Branch locations include one branch and bookmobile serving Patrick County, three locations in Henry County, and the main library serving the City of Martinsville.
As a financially independent organization, the Library Director oversees a budget of $2 million. This individual will exhibit integrity, sound financial judgment, and strong leadership abilities while fostering a collaborative and adaptable workplace culture. Success in this role requires the ability to engage effectively with diverse stakeholders, apply core public library principles, respond to community needs, and sustain positive, professional relationships with staff, public officials, and the broader community.
Key upcoming initiatives for this position include guiding the library’s future through strategic, long-range planning aligned with goals set by the Board and strengthening current services to uphold the library’s longstanding commitment to excellence in serving the Martinsville, Henry, and Patrick County communities. This role calls for forward-thinking leadership rooted in established public library practices and sound financial stewardship.
The Library Director will oversee all financial operations and investments, lead efforts to secure funding through grants and other opportunities, and present comprehensive reports on the library’s financial health, activities, and strategic direction.

Martinsville, Henry County, and Patrick County in southern Virginia offer a rich tapestry of small‐town charm, natural beauty, and an active community lifestyle.

The area embraces a blend of cultural institutions like the Smithsonian-affiliated Natural History Museum, Piedmont Arts, community theaters, and annual events such as the Rooster Walk Music & Arts Festival and the iconic Martinsville Speedway race.
Outdoor enthusiasts thrive here thanks to nearby Smith River, Blue Ridge trails, Philpott Lake, and fitness courts that promote active, social recreation. Plus, community involvement is strong—with clubs ranging from Rotary and Kiwanis to numerous nonprofits—creating ample volunteer and civic engagement opportunities.
Patrick County delivers an even more bucolic pace framed by mountains, farms, orchards, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s ideal for families, retirees, and those seeking rural retreats, featuring affordable housing. Local schools rank among the state’s best, and cultural resources like the Reynolds Homestead provide arts, crafts, and theatrical events. Residents value the tight‐knit, helping‐hands community spirit. Outdoor life is prominent with family‐friendly festivals, state parks, orchards, lakes, and mountain experiences—all hallmarks of life along the Parkway.
Together, these areas offer an appealing mix of affordability, scenic living, community engagement, cultural richness, and outdoor adventure.

Engage collaboratively and effectively with the Library Board of Trustees, Municipality Administrators, staff, community members, and strategic partners.
