About the Board
The Montgomery County Library Board
consists of twelve
members appointed by the County Executive
and confirmed by the County Council. The
thirteenth member is an Ex-officio School
Board Representative.
A complete list of current Library Board
members follows. There are twenty-three subcommittees
of
the Library Board that are called Library
Advisory
Committees, one for each library branch,
the Correctional Center, Multicultural Services,
and Mobile Services.
The twelve-member Advisory Board makes recommendations
to the County Executive on matters affecting the
public library systems, including the acquisition
and location of new library facilities, the adequacy
of book collections, services to outlying districts,
and personnel needs of Montgomery County Public Libraries.
Board members are also liaisons to branch Library
Advisory Committees (LAC), attending LAC meetings
and reporting the concerns of the LACs to the Library
Board.
Library Board Members serve up to two, three-year terms without compensation. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM in Library Board Room, the third floor of 21 Maryland Avenue (Rockville Library), or at different libraries. Members of County boards, committees, and commissions may not serve on more than one such group at a time.
Approximately three Library Board members' terms
end each spring. At that time the Public Information
Office sends out news releases to County newspapers,
libraries, and local organizations announcing that
the County Executive is seeking applicants for Library
Board vacancies. Occasionally, these notices appear
at other times during the year when a Board seat
becomes available unexpectedly.
Library Advisory Committee (LAC) membership forms
and applications for a given library can be obtained
by asking at the information desk of that library.
LAC members serve up to two, three-year terms, and
membership must be approved by the Library Board.
To respond to a news release regarding a vacancy
on the Library Board or for more information about
the Board and its LACs, please contact Regina Holyfield-Jewett
