VANCOUVER – The Clark County Council is seeking applicants to fill one of three Clark County-recommended positions on the seven-member Fort Vancouver Regional Library District board of trustees.
The at-large position is designated for a Clark County resident living outside the Vancouver and Camas city limits. The opening is for an unexpired term beginning immediately and ending Dec. 31, 2024.
The board meets at 6 p.m. every third Monday. Meetings currently are held in a hybrid format. A schedule of public meetings is online at http://www.fvrl.org/about-us/trustees.
Fort Vancouver Regional Library District (FVRL) serves residents of southwest Washington in rural, suburban, and urban settings in Klickitat and Skamania Counties, all of Clark County except for the city of Camas and the city of Woodland. FVRL also serves the city of Woodland and the Yale Valley Library District in Cowlitz County.
Library trustees are responsible for policies regarding the district’s multiple library locations, bookmobiles, self-serve locations, and online services at www.fvrl.org.
The district operates community libraries in Battle Ground, Goldendale, La Center, North Bonneville, Ridgefield, Stevenson, Washougal, White Salmon Valley and Woodland, as well as four outlets in the Vancouver urban area including downtown, Cascade Park, Three Creeks and the Vancouver Mall. FVRL also provides books-by-mail services to those living far from established library locations.
