Sanibel Library Accepting Applications for Vacant Board Seat

provided to The Santiva Chronicle

The Sanibel Public Library Board of Commissioners is a publicly elected board which governs the Sanibel Public Library. There are seven members who are elected on a non-partisan basis for a four year term. The board meets monthly on the fourth Thursday at 9:30 a.m. Additional meeting or workshops may be scheduled as needed. The board operates under the Sunshine Law. All discussion and deliberation must take place at a publicly advertised meeting.

As no one filed to run for Seat 7 on the Commission, the seat will be vacant after the November election. The Board will appoint a qualified person to fill this position for a 4 year term.

Potential commissioners must be a resident of Sanibel to qualify. They should also note that financial disclosures must be filed within 30 days of assuming office, when filing to run for office and annually once in office.

In making an appointment, the Board may consider the following:
– A candidate’s knowledge of the Sanibel Library
– A candidate’s commitment to library advocacy
– A candidate’s ability to be present at meetings in person

If you are interested in applying for Seat 7 on the Sanibel Public Library Board of Commissioners please see Duane Shaffer, Interim Library Director at the Sanibel Public Library for an application. Applications will be accepted starting on Wednesday, Sept. 25, and must be returned to Shaffer by Monday, Oct. 7, to be considered.
