Have an interest in getting involved, helping Lake Worth? How about testing the waters at the Library Advisory Board at 6:00 today (3/23)?

There are many volunteer City boards in Lake Worth from the Sister City Board, Planning & Zoning, and pension boards and they all have their particular and crucial topics to deal with. Some boards handle matters narrow in focus and others require skilled professionals with certain experience such as the Finance Advisory Board. Some meetings are very short and others can last well into the night depending on the agenda.

Later today (3/23) the Library Board meets and below is the agenda along with the location and time:

LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD: Wednesday, March 23, 2016, at 6:00
City Hall Annex Meeting Room, 414 Lake Ave
across the Cultural Plaza from the Library [some items on the agenda:]
  • Librarian’s report: budget update FY 2017 
  • Approve $30,000 to be used from the Simpkin Trust Fund for FY 2017’s budget 
NOTE: One or more members of any board, authority, or commission may attend and speak at any meeting of another City board, authority, or commission.

This can be a way for someone who has an interest to "test the waters", so to speak and watch and maybe even participate in a City board meeting. Volunteers and the volunteering spirit are what make the City of Lake Worth such a special little City.
