Introduction

Shape the Future of Government Research and Librarianship in Prince William County

Prince William Public Libraries is seeking a dynamic leader to oversee our premier government research division—MAGIC (Management and Government Information Center). As the MAGIC Supervisor, you’ll direct a team that provides investigative research, business intelligence, and data analysis to support county operations, legal proceedings, and economic development.

You’ll also apply your librarianship expertise to expand programming, strengthen outreach with government agencies and community partners, and ensure MAGIC remains a trusted hub for authoritative information. This is more than management—it’s a chance to blend research leadership, public service, and innovative programming in a fast-paced, impact-driven environment.

About This Role

As the MAGIC Supervisor, you will lead Prince William Public Libraries’ specialized government research division, managing both people and operations in a fast-paced, high-impact environment. You’ll oversee a team of skilled researchers who conduct complex investigations using proprietary databases such as The Last One (TLO), Accurint, and Lexis / Nexis to support county attorneys, schools, and government agencies.

Your responsibilities will span a wide range of leadership and operational functions, including :

• Coordinating advanced research services, interlibrary loans, and circulation operations.
• Managing the department’s budget and building operations—from daily opening / closing procedures to equipment maintenance.
• Leading and coaching staff, ensuring high performance and professional growth.
• Designing and delivering training programs for businesses, nonprofits, and community partners.

This role also emphasizes community and interagency collaboration. You’ll represent MAGIC at Chamber of Commerce events, lead presentations at new employee orientations, and strengthen partnerships with economic development agencies. You’ll also prepare detailed statistical reports, update standard operating procedures, and ensure compliance with all data privacy protocols.
