SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The Santa Barbara Public Library is looking for its next leader.
The city is conducting a recruitment for a permanent director right now.
It will be in conjunction with several other open director positions in the city.
Former library director Jessica Cadiente received a $500,000 settlement with the city.
She was on paid leave for nearly a year.
In the meantime, library officials say they’re seeing an increase in foot traffic since it reopened in November.
"Traffic is up 27% here post plaza opening while we also have participation in all our programs up by about 16% … that’s despite actually running less programs … so quite a bit of more usage or seeing here," said acting director Brandon Beaudette of the Santa Barbara Public Library.
The library, with its new plaza, plans to serve as a community partner and hub for the downtown area, and a community resource for both public and private events.
