The following was submitted to Patch:

The Huntingdon Valley Library announces a vacancy on its Library Board of Trustees. Library Board President Eleanor Schneider announced the resignation of Trustee Barry Braun at the November 14, 2013, Board meeting and thanked him for his many years of dedicated service.   

Barry Braun served on the Board for 16 years, with his current term starting October 2010.  He made many contributions through his work on the Finance, Audit and Nominating Committees.  “I wish Barry the best of luck and hope to continue seeing him at our programs,” said Sharon Moreland-Sender, Library Director. 

A Library Trustee recognizes the importance of the Library in the community and oversees the funding of all aspects of library services including traditional services, innovative programs and new technologies.  Trustees attend monthly meetings held on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30pm.  Each Trustee serves on several committees, advocates for the Library and is encouraged to be an active participant in Library activities.  The role of a Library Trustee is both challenging and rewarding and this Board is especially suited for new Trustees.

Applications for the position of Trustee are now available at the library and will be accepted through December 12, 2013. Applicants must be a Lower Moreland Township resident. The Library Board of Trustees is working to have this vacancy on the Board filled by January 1, 2014. 

For more information about this position and the application procedure, please contact Library Director Sharon Moreland-Sender at (215) 947-5138.  A copy of the application is available on the Library’s web site at hvlibrary.org.
