Niles Library Selects New Trustee

Karen Dimond, who serves as vice chair of the Village of Niles' Zoning and Planning Committee, was appointed by the Niles Library Board to fill a vacant seat.

The board had interviewed five candidates, including Dimond, Kaczanowski, Mary Marusek, Billy Van Cannon and former Niles Library Trustee Maureen Polcyn, on Thursday, and selected Dimond.

She will fill the seat of Sam Puleo Jr., who resigned recently for reasons of health.

Dimond will be sworn in at the June board meeting. She will serve until May 2013 and will have to run for re-election if she wishes to continue after that.

The board is in the middle of a sweeping renovation plan for the library, in which spaces are being reconfigured after the library received input from users in a survey.
