Commission appoints James Halstead to Chanute Public Library board

Chanute City Commission · April 27, 2026

Summary

The commission appointed James Halstead to a four‑year term on the Chanute Public Library Board (May 1, 2026–April 30, 2030) after Library Director Gina Lawrence recommended him to replace Dean Parsons.

The Chanute City Commission appointed James Halstead to the Schubert/Chanute Public Library Board of Trustees to fill a four‑year vacancy beginning May 1, 2026.

Gina Lawrence, the library director, told the commission that Dean Parsons had decided to step down after one term and that Halstead "has some experience with teaching, and he also has some accounting experience," making him a good fit for the board, she said. Lawrence also noted Halstead is an avid library user.

The appointment was made by the mayor with the consent of the commission and no opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript.
