Mayor Nelson and Council Members,
Two letters of interest for the open position on the Library Board of Trustees have been submitted to
the library for Board recommendation and approval. Mr. Hanson has decided to retire from the Board
after serving for more than 7 years. To give someone else a chance to serve, he had turned in his notice
to the Board of Trustees at their May 11, 2021 meeting.
Both Kate Manley and Gail Norman have been long-term residents of Laurel and avid users of the
library. It is the recommendation of the Board of Trustees that Kate Manley be appointed to the Board
for the next term ending June 30, 2026. They also ask that you keep Gail Norman as a possible
replacement for anyone that may need to resign their appointment in the future.
Thank you,
Nancy L Schmidt
Director/Board Secretary

Attn: Nancy Schmidt
Dear Nancy,
When I ran into Geralyn a couple of weeks ago, I told her that I was no longer working, and
asked her about volunteer opportunities. She mentioned that there was an opening on the library
board and suggested that I send a letter of intent. I see on your website that the protocol is to
send a letter to you, and then you will forward to the mayor.
I attended MSUB (called Eastern Montana College, then) and have a minor in library science. I
worked as a salesman for Western Publishing Company for about a year and was management at
Barnes & Noble Booksellers for 20 years. I volunteered several summers for the Reading Rocks
program in the Billings city parks and have decent computer skills.
If you think I would be a good addition to your Library Board, please forward my letter. I can be
reached at the above phone and email.
Sincerely,
Kate Manley

To whom it may concern:
As a very active patron of the Laurel Library, I am interested in decisions regarding its
operation and activities.
While I cannot promise to attend every single meeting, I will do my best to be present at
most of them. It would be interesting to learn about the budget, book selections,
computer usage and other library procedures of interest to our community.
Thank you for your consideration to become a future trustee. It would be my pleasure
to interview, with the library director if further information is needed.
Sincer lly, 0
