Library board seeks youth member

The Sonoma Valley Library Advisory Board is accepting applications for a local teenager, in grades 9-12, to become a member of the board. The deadline for applications is Thursday, April 30.

The board is a citizen committee that serves to advise the Library Commission on issues affecting the library in the Sonoma Valley. The youth member will bring issues concerning young people in the Valley to the table and provide a new and different perspective.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for a teen to have an impact on how the library serves our younger population and to learn about boards, committee work and how government operates,” said Youth Services Librarian, Clare O’Brien.

Library Manager, Lisa Musgrove, said, “I’m pleased that the members of advisory board are committed to serving the young people of the Valley by creating this position.

The term of servcie is one year, starting on July 1. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month at 4 p.m.

Applications are available on the Sonoma County Library website and can also be picked up at the library, 755 West Napa Street in Sonoma.
