Per Amber Briggs Press Release – Director AMY:
“The local library board is not opposed to taking into consideration recommendations by the Yancey County Commissioners for these board vacancies. In the other 3 advisory boards in the library system, local government works directly with the board chair in discussing recommendations and then selection of local board members. As such, all local advisory boards and the governing board in the regional system are bipartisan boards, serving the good of the library and the communities they represent. The Regional Library Director has nothing to do with selection and appointment of board members and is only responsible for submitting paperwork regarding vacancies and appointment recommendations from local boards.“
