Board forms committee to manage annual book drive
Summary
The Farmers Branch Library Board formed a subcommittee to organize the annual book drive; several board members volunteered to serve and will set collection dates and delivery schedules.
Board members agreed to form a subcommittee to organize the library’s annual book drive and nominated volunteers to lead the effort.
A board member proposed creating a small committee to set a start date, end date and delivery date for the drive; other members volunteered to serve. The board characterized the group as a subcommittee (ad-hoc) and said it will not need to post separate agendas for internal planning. Volunteers named included Kristen and another board member who said they would help coordinate logistics; the subcommittee agreed to set meeting times directly and report back to the full board.
The subcommittee’s first tasks are to set the collection window, coordinate delivery logistics and publicize drop-off locations. Board members said the committee may rely on staff for collection containers and to schedule delivery.
No formal vote was required beyond the board’s consensus to form the committee, and members discussed the committee’s scope as a planning group rather than a standing committee.
