[PL-Directors] State Library Board opportunity

[PATTERSON Jennifer L * SLO]

Greetings,
I'm reaching out again with a reminder of the upcoming State Library Board opportunity. We have learned that there is a deadline of March 29th to submit application materials for a senate confirmation hearing taking place during the week of May 3rd. If that deadline is missed, there will likely be another senate confirmation hearing in June with application materials due in late April. My original message is below and I appreciate you sharing this with your eastern Oregon public library staff and board members. Thank you!
