BOARD NEWS New Library Trustees Anne Ordway and Jennifer Lucas were sworn in at the Board’s regular meeting on June 9, 2021. Lucas had previously served as a temporary appointed Board member, in order to fill a Board seat left vacant due to a trustee resignation. In addition, returning Trustee Denise Tenyer was sworn in at the Board’s regular meeting on July 12, 2021. Tenyer was appointed to fill the fouryear seat left vacant when elected candidate Mark Stenberg moved out of the Library district. At the July meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to move forward with reconstruction of the Library’s service
driveway. The ramp is almost 30 years old and in need of replacement. Construction will take place in either fall 2021 or spring 2022, and will have no impact on service to customers.
