Consider Joining the Friends Board of Directors

At this time of the year, we are looking for new board members to join us for the coming year, which starts in June.

We would love to have you become part of our active Board of Directors in planning and working at Friends’ events, setting goals for the future and coordinating with our Library partners on funding programs and activities for the community. Come and help us build strong bonds with our volunteers and other community groups.

If you love the library and love helping the community, we’d love to talk to you. Board meetings are at 10:30 a.m. on the second Monday of the month. Any additional time commitment is completely up to you and your schedule.

If you have new ideas, want to help plan events or just want to hang around with a bunch of book lovers like yourself, please contact Sharon McMahon at 805-368-1347 or mcmahonre@yahoo.com.
