Come join us at the East Morgan County Library District from 3:15 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesdays for Kids’ Fun Time.

We are excited to announce that we have resumed this crafty/activity time for children in kindergarten to fifth grade. We will be doing different crafts or activities every week outside as the weather permits.

Story Time is also outside at 10 a.m. Wednesdays and Fridays. Come join us as we read, sing and do a craft together for children ages 1 to 5 with their parents.

The TAG Team will be meeting at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, outside to play some trivia. Teens in grades 6-12 are welcome to join us for this fun, engaging time.

EMCLD’s Book Discussion Group will be reading “The Bookshop on the Corner” by Jenny Colgan for the month of September and will meet to discuss the book at 6 p.m. Sept. 22. You may check out a copy at the front desk.

The East Morgan County Library District in Brush is seeking candidates interested in serving on the board of directors beginning in January 2021. Two positions are available with one incumbent running and one not seeking another term. In order to serve, a candidate must live in the EMCL District, which is in the Morgan County area east of County Road 24 (Dodd Bridge Road) to the eastern county border, similar to the Brush School District.

The positions involve the ability to attend the regular, monthly board meeting, currently on the second Wednesday of each month. Other work sessions may be scheduled periodically as needed.

These positions are filled by applicants who are decided by the current EMCLD board and approved by the Brush City Council and the Brush School Board. If chosen, the successful candidate(s) will be asked to serve for a three-year term, after which an option to apply for another term, and be re-elected, is allowed for up to two times. A board member is term-limited after serving nine years.

Serving on the board is a rewarding opportunity to assist with the governing of the East Morgan County Library District. Discussions and decisions regarding the library’s budgets, policies, building and grounds maintenance, and other issues make up the duties for which the board is responsible. The meetings are generally 1 to 1.5 hours in duration, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The current trustees serving on the Board are Greg Krob, Gayle Lindell, Lenore Wind, Carla Krueger, Larry Giauque, Tom Hofmann and Joy Friehauf.

Anyone with an interest in serving in this capacity is asked to stop by the East Morgan County Library at 500 Clayton St. in Brush, to pick up an application.

For additional information, or for any questions, interested parties are encouraged to contact the EMCLD Director Laura McConnell at 970-842-4596, or stop by the library. A more detailed description of the board duties is available at the library. Applications may be mailed to interested candidates, upon request.

All board applications are due at the Library no later than Oct. 9.
