North County library board in disarray

Correction: The original story stated that “Members of the board did not respond to requests for comment prior to the press deadline.” After publishing, former North Jefferson County Library District Board member Jim Hammill contacted The Monitor to say he had not received our requests for comment. Hammill also clarified that he did not resign, rather, he chose not to seek re-election after his 4-year term expired in May. The story has been edited to reflect the changes.

North Jefferson County’s library board has been left primarily vacant after all but one of the board members submitted letters of resignation in April. 

Jane Hamman, Scott Erickson and Lynora Rogstad were among the board members who resigned. Board clerk Cheryl Vukasin also submitted a letter of resignation. Jim Hammill, a long standing board member, chose not to run for re-election after his term expired. Beth McNamara is the sole remaining board member.
