Two open positions on library board

Fayette County’s Library Board is charged with recommending local policies and practices to the Fayette County Board of Commissioners where there is no county or regional library system policy governing that area of service. Among other duties, the board is charged with reviewing plans and policies to ensure that all views of the community are represented in the selection process.

The Library Board is composed of seven volunteers who are appointed to four-year terms by Fayette County’s local jurisdictions. Three members are appointed by the Fayette County Board of Commissioners. The cities of Fayetteville and Peachtree City and the towns of Tyrone and Brooks make one appointment each for the remaining four members. Members of the Library Board are not compensated for their service.

The Library Board meets approximately four (4) times a year, and the meetings are typically held on the third Tuesday during the months of January, April, June and October. Meetings begin at 4:00 p.m. and are held at the Fayette County Public Library, 1821 Heritage Park Way, Fayetteville, Georgia 30214.

The Fayette County Board of Commissioners would like to notify all interested Fayette County citizens that there are two upcoming vacancies on the Library Board. The terms for each vacancy will begin on January 1, 2017 and will expire December 31, 2020.

Interested Fayette County residents are encouraged to apply.
