Library Board vacancy

Dear Library Patrons,

We have a vacancy on the Library Board. Jen Kotaska recently resigned from the Library Board as she and her family are in the process of moving to a different community. We will certainly miss Jen on the Board as she has been an very active member.

We are looking for someone to fill Jen’s position on the Board. The process is quite simple. If you are interested in this volunteer position (as described below), please stop by the Library to pick up an application. The Library Board will review all the applications at their upcoming meeting and will recommend an applicant to the City Council for appointment to the Board.

The Library Board is responsible to the City Council for the policies and annual operating budget of the Library. An ideal candidate for the Library Board is someone who:
• Is a resident of Ottertail County. (At this time are accepting applications from in-town residents only.)
• Supports the mission and vision of the Library
• Resists censorship of Library materials
• Can attend monthly meetings (third Thursday of every month at 5 pm)
• Is willing to help with Library fundraising

Please pick up and return your application as soon as possible to the Library. If possible, the Library Board would like to review the applications on Thursday, August 18.

If you have any questions at all, please contact the Library. Please forward this to anyone you think might be interested!

Members of the Library Board are:
Dianna Wallgren – President
Patrick Veazie – Vice-President
Kendal Wurst – Secretary
Susan Thompson – Viking Library System Representative
Becky Becker – Board Member
Julie Radniecki – Board Member

Our meetings are fairly short and pretty low key.
