Select Board appoints Casey Chadwick to Griswold Memorial Library trustees
Summary
The Colrain Select Board unanimously appointed Casey Chadwick to fill a trustee vacancy at the Griswold Memorial Library effective July 1, 2026. The appointment followed a letter of interest and the trustees' prior recommendation; one public commenter raised concerns about programming and public comment rules.
The Colrain Select Board on June 23 voted unanimously to appoint Casey Chadwick to the Griswold Memorial Library Board of Trustees for a term beginning July 1, 2026. Town Administrator Diana Parsons read Chadwick’s letter of intent and confirmed the library trustees had recommended Chadwick at their May 11 meeting.
Chair Catherine Korby moved to appoint Chadwick and the board approved the motion by roll call (Korby, Eastman, Thurber all aye). A member of the public used the joint session to raise concerns about the direction of library programming and the town’s public comment policies; Chair Korby acknowledged those concerns and said the library has received “positive community feedback” more broadly. Parsons noted that Chadwick’s background as an early childhood special education teacher informed her stated commitment to accessible literacy resources and community learning.
The appointment is contingent on Chadwick taking the oath of office; the board recorded the motion and vote at the joint meeting with the trustees. No substantive debate occurred during the Select Board portion of the meeting.
