Summary

A prospective trustee, Molly, introduced herself and trustees explained the next step is a joint meeting with the select board, where the select board will interview and vote on appointment; the meeting was expected the next evening at about 6:45 p.m.

A prospective trustee named Molly joined the meeting during public comment and said she is a longtime patron, Friends member and library advocate who is willing to serve on the board.

Trustees explained the appointment process: after trustees recommend a candidate, the select board interviews the applicant in a joint meeting and votes on the appointment. Jane said the select-board meeting would likely put the trustees on the agenda around 6:45 p.m. the following evening; if the appointment is approved, the clerk can swear in the appointee that night or shortly thereafter. Trustees also noted that the appointee, if confirmed, will need to run in the next regular election to fill any remaining one-year term.

Trustees welcomed Molly and encouraged her to attend the select-board session; they said they would prepare the necessary paperwork and quorum and try to keep the joint meeting brief.
