At the Tuesday, November 17 meeting of the Lancaster Public Library Board, Herb Landau was welcomed as the Board’s next Executive Director. Landau, who will don his new role in several weeks, presently serves as the Director of the Milanof-Schock Library in Mount Joy.
Beginning with a masters degree in Library Science from Columbia University, Landau brings a specialist’s resume to the Board. In addition to his current position at Milanof-Schock, Landau has served for ten years as a library trustee in Delaware County and has managed industrial libraries. In 2008, Landau’s “Small Library Survival Guide” was published by the American Library Association.
Landau said he is currently working on yet another book, this one called “Winning Library Grants.”
Due to his still-active role at Milanof-Schock, Landau told NewsLanc that he will not comment on his intentions for Lancaster Public Library until he has formally taken on the new position.
