Has it adequately bolstered and promoted its online collection?Ī: The Schaumburg Township District Library experienced a huge shift into online materials during the Pandemic and that has continued into the present time. That commitment held throughout my time as a Trustee and I am equally committed to that goal today. And, I wanted to ensure that our 5-star award winning library system, including the Central location in Schaumburg and the Hoffman Estates branch and Hanover Park branch, remained committed to its brand which is providing relevant information, books, media, technology and programs for all ages in a safe and friendly environment through the service of well-trained staff. I also wanted to ensure that the board was a good steward of our taxpayer money. I volunteered to be on the board to ensure the high standards and forward thinking of our Township Library was maintained. Q: Why are you running for the library board, whether for reelection or election the first time? Is there a particular issue that motivates you?Ī: In 2019, I was appointed by the Schaumburg Township District Library Board to complete the last 1 1/2 years of a Trustee's term.
