Actually pay folks to do this work. Nobody is gonna do a hard job for no pay.
This sounds like an awful lot for a volunteer to have to do, while spending their own money on transportation, etc. Maybe, stop being cheap and pay someone to fulfill these duties.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Applications for the WFPL Board should not be submitted to the person the Board oversees! The BoCC should take in the applications and select the members of the WFPL Board. Mr. Humble, the library director, answers to both the BoCC and the WFPL Board, therefore should not be involved in the selection of the Board members.
