The Los Alamos County Library Board convened on October 6, 2025, with a focus on board member introductions, the approval of previous meeting minutes, and the election of a new vice chair. The meeting began with the introduction of two new board members, Ryan Parker and Jason Chapelle. Parker, a resident for two years and an employee of the National Park Service, expressed his enthusiasm for library affairs. Chapelle, who has lived in Los Alamos for three years and works as an assistant store leader, also shared his excitement about engaging with the community.

Following the introductions, the board moved to approve the minutes from the September meeting. Brian Reardon proposed the motion, which was seconded by Chapelle, despite his absence from that meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

The next agenda item involved the election of a new vice chair. The current chair indicated that she would remain in her position until September 2026, allowing the new vice chair to transition into the chair role at that time. Nominations were opened, and Chapelle self-nominated for the vice chair position. His nomination was seconded by Michelle, and the board voted in favor of his appointment.

The meeting concluded with a presentation on inclusivity at the library, led by Gwen, marking a commitment to enhancing community engagement and accessibility within library services. The board's discussions reflect a proactive approach to leadership and inclusivity, setting a positive tone for future initiatives.
