BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – The Bellingham Public Library is looking for candidates to fill a vacancy on its Board of Trustees.

The library’s Board of Trustees is made up of five volunteer members who serve on five-year terms. They’re responsible for establishing library policy, overseeing its budget and representing the library to the community.

Their meetings are usually held monthly with additional special meetings as needed.

The library said in a statement that it’s searching for candidates who have lived in Bellingham for at least a year and who are familiar with the community. The chosen candidate will serve a full-term beginning Feb. 10, 2025, pending approval by the Bellingham City Council.

Applications are due by 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, and a first review of the applications will begin the day after.
