Westlake Porter Public Library currently is accepting applications for a position immediately on the Board of Trustees, according to a news release.
This vacancy arises due to the resignation of a board member, Dr. Dan Keenan, who had served as trustee since 2022, the release said.
The appointed individual will serve the remaining term until Dec. 31, 2026, according to the release.
The board is composed of seven members and has primary responsibility for approving library policies, setting the budget, hiring a director and fiscal officer and advocating for the library, the release said.
Library board meetings are held monthly, usually at 6:30 p.m., on the third Wednesdays at the library, 27333 Center Ridge Road.
Trustees represent the community at-large and their varied library interests, the release said.
The only prerequisite for applicants is that they have an interest in public library issues and wish to become a public library advocate, according to the release.
Those interested in applying for a trustee position may download a fillable form from the library’s website at westlakelibrary.org.
Forms also are available at the library’s Reception Desk, by calling the Administration Department at 440-250-5451 or by emailing karen.hunt@westlakelibrary.org.
