The State Library of Ohio is seeking nominations for appointment to a five-year term on the State Library Board. Ms. Krista Taracuk of Columbus will complete her first five-year term on December 31, 2017. The successful appointee will serve January 1, 2018 - December 31, 2022.

The nominated candidate should have experience in at least one of the following areas:

·      As a board member or an employee of a public organization or institution.
·      As a board member or former employee of a school, public, academic or specialized library.
·      In the development of equal access to information for all Ohio residents.
·      Changing technologies and their impact on libraries.

The State Library Board consists of five members appointed by the State Board of Education.  The Board typically meets six times a year beginning in January. The upcoming schedule can be found here: library.ohio.gov/about/state-librarian-board/#panel-schedule<https://library.ohio.gov/about/state-librarian-board/#panel-schedule>.  For information on the specific powers and duties of the State Library Board, please see Section 3375.01<http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/3375> of the Ohio Revised Code.  The Board will evaluate candidates’ diversity, geographic locations, and relevant experience and forward candidates’ information along with a recommendation to be considered for appointment by the State Board of Education.

Current State Library Board members are:

Current or past board members or former employees of school, public, academic or special libraries will be given first consideration for nomination. However, it should be noted that a person cannot serve on a public library board and on the State Library Board concurrently.
