The Orcas Island Public Library is seeking a new trustee to begin serving Jan. 1, 2015. The length of the term is five years. The board is composed of five members who have the charge of planning the direction of the library’s services, making sure policies comply with laws, and overseeing the library’s expenditure of funds. Additionally, the trustees have the exciting task of working together on the Orcas Island Library Building Expansion Project: Books and Beyond

Serving on the library board requires a passion and talent for teamwork, along with a belief in the importance of public libraries. We are interested in attracting individuals who enjoy learning with and from each other. New trustees bring new ideas, and new ideas will bring continuing inspiration and energy to Orcas Island’s library board.

If you are interested in serving as a library trustee, contact Director Phil Heikkinen at 376-4985. He will guide you through the application process.
