[Libs-Or] Title of Library Director

[Diedre Conkling]

My official title, maybe because of similar thinking, is District
Librarian.  I use this on some official things but I find that in the
library world it is less confusing if I use Library Director.  It better
explains my position and no one has ever thought that it means a member of
the library board.  The only place where there might have been some
confusion is within the Special Districts Association (SDAO) but they
haven't ever seemed all that confused not matter which title I use.
