We are thrilled to celebrate the formal appointment of Christopher Platt as the new Director of Library Services for Santa Cruz Public Libraries. This library system consists of 10 library branches, a web-based digital library, a bookmobile, and community-based programming.
Christopher brings over 20 years of industry experience to the Santa Cruz job having invested most of his career with the New York Public Library system where he oversaw 88 branches as a Chief Branch Library Officer. As a native of California’s Eastern Sierra, he is currently the Library Director in Mono County where he has served for more than five years.
Our candidate holds a Master of Librarianship degree from the University of Washington and a Bachelor’s degree in French from UC Santa Barbara.
The Santa Cruz Public Libraries is governed by a Joint Powers Authority and serves the Cities of Santa Cruz, Capitol and Scotts Valley as well as the County of Santa Cruz.
