Commissioners
Interested in Serving on the Fletcher Free Library Commission?
The Fletcher Free Library Commission is an advisory group composed of twelve community and student members that supports the library’s mission of informing, enriching and nurturing a diverse community of lifelong learners. As a Commission, we have the opportunity to provide feedback and support for a wide-range of programs to help make the library a vibrant hub of learning and community-building for Burlington. The Commission currently has an opening for a trustee member who resides in Chittenden County to serve a three-year term. We are seeking applicants who have skills and interests in social services and/or anti-racism and equity. The Commission meets every other month for approximately 75 minutes, with other meetings and events scheduled as needed. Please contact amellencamp@burlingtonvt.gov by Friday, November 6.
