Library Board Chair Sue Cohn has submitted her resignation from the Library Board of Trustees, effective in June 2009, as her husband Gary has been selected to be the new Superintendent of Schools for the Everett School District, and he starts work in his new position in July. The County Commissioners are in charge of recruiting for new Board members, and they will be running an ad in the Peninsula Daily News within the next week or two.
If you are interested in serving on the Library Board, or if you know someone who is, please consider submitting an application. You can do so by going to www.clallam.net and clicking on "Citizen Participation", then "Citizen Advisory Boards".
The Library Board of Trustees is the governing board for the North Olympic Library System. The Board performs long range planning for the Library, sets policy, determines the annual operating budget and supervises the Library Director. They meet monthly in addition to special meetings as required.
Over the next year, the Board will continue to study the pros and cons of pursuing a "levy lid lift", or an increase in the Library's levy rate. Due to inflationary increases in costs, the Library's expenses will exceed revenues in 2010, and the Library Board will need to decide what to do about this situation. This is just one of the challenges facing the Library in the coming years. For more information about the Board, feel free to contact me at Director@nols.org.
