Chair warns multiple members may step down; board discusses recruiting and shifting meeting time
Summary
Chair Jen Albrecht said several members are reaching term limits and may leave; the board discussed recruiting new members (emphasis on younger parents), possibly moving meeting times to improve quorum, and planning a transition for officer roles.
Jen Albrecht, who opened the meeting, told members several board members have reached or are nearing the end of their terms and that she "was about ready to be done" with her own service, prompting a discussion about recruiting replacements and restructuring roles.
Albrecht said the board should recruit members who better represent current library users, naming young parents as a priority: "We would like to have the community well represented on the library board...it would be great to get a few more young moms." Members discussed outreach methods (newsletter, word-of-mouth) and the need to fill officer roles including treasurer and vice president if incumbents step down. They also debated moving the regular meeting time (options: noon or 1 p.m.) to improve attendance and agreed to trial a different time next month to test quorum improvements.
Board members confirmed a quorum requirement of seven members and noted the board currently has eight. No formal votes on succession or meeting-time changes were taken; the group agreed to pursue recruitment and revisit scheduling at the next meeting.
