Non-profit Board Member (Friends of Library)

Save to Favorites

The New Friends of the Beaverton City Library (NFBCL) are looking for some individuals who would be willing to join our Board of Directors. Our organization supports and promotes library service in Beaverton, Oregon by providing the Beaverton City Library system with supplemental revenue for materials and services not covered by the library budget, as well as strengthening relations between the library and schools, local businesses, and other community organizations. We also promote public awareness of the many resources and services provided by the library.

Our Board members are responsible for overseeing the activities of our organization, which include community outreach, advocating for literacy programs, supporting the Beaverton City Library system financially, as well as liaison with the Beaverton Library Foundation and Beaverton Library Advisory Board. Board members are also involved in the oversight and operation of our primary fundraising channel: The Book Corner bookstore, and its in-store and on-line sales operations.

This is an interesting and rewarding activity for all of us currently on the Board. We meet monthly (via Zoom at this time), and if you are interested in potentially joining the board, we’d be glad to have you attend our next meeting. We are interested in candidates who love books, like supporting literacy and the library system, and have skills and backgrounds that will enhance our current roster. No prior non-profit board experience is required, but would be a plus.

Please contact our board president, Roger Tobin at nfbclbookcorner@gmail.com if you want to know more.
