Trustees vote to dedicate Maryland Room to longtime volunteer Marilee (Mary Lee) Russell
Summary
The St. Mary's County Library trustees voted to rename the Maryland Room at the Leonardtown library in honor of Marilee (also referenced as Mary Lee) Russell. The board approved the renaming by voice vote and plans a plaque to formally recognize her service.
St. Mary's County Library trustees voted to recognize long service by Marilee Russell (transcript references also use the spelling "Mary Lee Russell") by renaming the Maryland Room at the Leonardtown library in her honor.
At the meeting, trustee Carolyn (last name not provided) proposed naming a room after Russell as a permanent recognition; trustees agreed that the Maryland Room, which houses historical and genealogical collections, would be an appropriate location. Jim Hanley moved that the board "redesignate the Maryland room as the Mary Lee Russell room." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Trustees discussed practical details briefly; the board indicated a plaque outside the room would be sufficient to formalize the dedication. No additional funding request or changes to room function were proposed by the trustees during the vote.
Ending: The motion passed by voice vote and staff were asked to proceed with appropriate signage and formal recognition.
