Mslis Dennis Hillers currently serves as the Library Director at the Addison Township Public Library, a Class 2 Rural Library situated in the picturesque exurban landscape of Oakland County, Michigan, just 45 miles north of Detroit. In this pivotal role, Dennis is responsible for the strategic and daily operations of the library, ensuring that it not only meets the immediate needs of the community but also positions itself for future growth and development. With a dedicated team of seven hourly employees, he oversees a budget of $360K, focusing on enhancing library services and programming that resonate with the diverse needs of the rural district.
One of Dennis's key projects involves the transition from the current leased facility to a new, purpose-built library that is set to break ground later this year. This significant development reflects his commitment to improving access to information and resources for the community. His expertise in library management and integrated library systems has been instrumental in this process, allowing him to effectively navigate the complexities of library development and digitization. Dennis is also passionate about library reference and research services, ensuring that patrons receive outstanding information provision tailored to their unique inquiries.
In addition to his operational responsibilities, Dennis is dedicated to fostering a culture of innovation within the library. He actively explores new technologies and methodologies to enhance digital libraries and oral history projects, making the library a vibrant hub for learning and community engagement. His leadership not only aims to elevate the library's profile but also to create an inclusive environment where every member of the community can thrive.
