[Libs-Or] Serve on Oregon's LSTA Advisory Council

[Matthew Baiocchi]

I'd just like to throw this out there for folks considering the LSTA Council: Ross Fuqua does an amazing job bringing enthusiasm and new ideas to the table along with doing a wonderful job encouraging others and being open to their ideas; Susan Westin does a fantastic job sharing her deep well of knowledge about the inner workings of everything with everybody; Ferol Weyand does an absurdly good job of keeping things well organized - coordinating people, technology, and, well, just plain-old-everything to make things move as smoothly as possible for all involved; Finally, all the council members bring all kinds of library smarts, insights, and humor to the council meetings.


You'd be working to give libraries all across Oregon grant money to do very creative and interesting things.


It's a good gig.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Serve on Oregon's LSTA Advisory Council


Hello library folks in Oregon,



The State Library of Oregon is looking for four new members in 2019 to serve a three-year term on our volunteer Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Advisory Council<https://www.oregon.gov/Library/libraries/Pages/lstaac.aspx>! Nominations will be accepted using this form through the end of September 2018:



https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2019LSTACouncilNominations



We are particularly looking to fill these upcoming seats:



·        Special Libraries Representative (1 position)

·        Public Libraries Representative (1 position)

·        Academic Libraries Representative (1 position)

·        Library Users Representative (1 position)*



*Please consider asking a library patron, board member, member of your library's Friends group, or anyone who cares about library service in your community to consider this position.



The Council reviews project proposals and reports (including our annual LSTA competitive grants), makes recommendations to the Board, and advises the Board about any issues concerning Oregon's LSTA program. The LSTA Advisory Council consists of thirteen members and is broadly representative of library entities in Oregon, including public, school, academic, and special libraries, as well as library users. Special consideration is given to ensure that the following are represented: geographic areas of the state, underserved areas, and underrepresented persons.



The State Library Board will appoint new Advisory Council members in October, and new members' terms will begin January 1, 2019.



Please contact me with any questions!
