At its monthly meeting, the Delaware County District Library (DCDL) Board of Library Trustees reappointed one new board member and swore in three new elected board positions.
The board elected trustees Michael Butler into the position of President, Brenda Eldridge into the position of Vice President, and Ceena Dinovo Baker into the position of Secretary.
Reappointed trustee Neil Neidhardt was absent from the meeting and will be sworn in during the February board meeting. He will begin his second seven-year term.
The current Board of Trustees is made up of the following members: Michael Butler (President), Brenda Eldridge (Vice President), Ceena Dinovo Baker (Secretary), Nickolas K. McCoy, Neil Neidhardt, Holly Quaine and Denise Martin. Martin joined the Board of Trustees in August 2016, following the resignation of Lori Saviers earlier in the year.
The Board of Trustees, the governing body of the Library, consists of seven members who serve in non-salaried positions. The board promotes DCDL’s mission, sets Library policy, hires and supervises the Director and Fiscal Officer, approves the Library’s budget and financial practices, and creates the Library’s strategic plans.
Four board members are appointed by the County Commissioners, and three are appointed by the Court of Common Pleas.
