Seeking candidates for library trustee: Library districts are a special unit of local government that have the responsibility to provide library service to an area. The library board of trustees take action to employ a director; make and set library policies; and make and pass the necessary budget, appropriations, and levy for tax revenue in support of that library service.
There are seven non-partisan, elected or appointed trustees on the board. A standard term of office is six years. Appointments to the board are until the time of the next consolidated election in the spring of an odd-numbered year. Trustees serve without compensation.
The next election is April 7 and the Sugar Grove Library is seeking candidates for: two full 6-year terms; one vacancy for a two-year term; and one vacancy for a four-year term. The state board of elections has the information necessary for becoming a candidate for the office of library trustee. Look at the 2009 Candidates Guide at www.elections.state.il.us/Votinginformation/welcome.aspx or make an appointment with the library director Beverly Holmes Hughes by calling (630) 466-4686, ext. 102.
