Commissioners Seek Applicants For Library Board

 OLYMPIA – Thurston County Commissioners are seeking someone to serve on the board of directors for the Timberland Regional Library. 

Thurston County resident Carolyn Dobbs has advised county commissioners that she must forgo her appointment to the library board because of a serious family health development.  Dobbs, a member of the faculty at The Evergreen State College, was appointed on February 3rd as one of two Thurston County representatives on the board of the five-county regional library system.  Dobbs told county commissioner Bob Macleod on Monday that she made the difficult decision over this past weekend.

Macleod says, “My first concern is for the well being of Carolyn and her family.  Beyond that concern, I am saddened that Thurston County has lost a very able representative to the Timberland Board.”  Macleod says the Board of Thurston County Commissioners will rely on a newly refined system of advertising for Timberland Board openings and the interview of candidates for the filling of the library system position.

Those interested in finding out more about the application process can contact the clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, LaBonita Bowmar at 360-786-5440.
