Newly Appointed Trustee Brooks Stenoish Takes Oath, Finalizing Frankfort Library Board
FRANKFORT, IL – The Frankfort Public Library District Board of Trustees is now at its full seven-member strength after newly appointed trustee Brooks Stenoish was officially sworn in at Thursday night’s meeting.
Stenoish, who recently completed a term on the board, took the oath of office administered by board Secretary Jeffrey Otway. Her appointment brings a familiar face and experienced voice back to a board that saw five new members elected in the spring.
“I thank everyone for welcoming me to the board,” Stenoish said during her first trustee comments of the new term.
Other trustees formally welcomed her back. “Trustee Faris welcomed Trustee Stenoish to the board,” the minutes noted, and “Trustee Otway welcomed Trustee Stenoish to the board.”
Stenoish was appointed by a unanimous vote at a special meeting on June 17 to fill a two-year vacancy. She immediately took on committee responsibilities, electing to join both the Building & Grounds Committee and the Strategic Plan Committee.
Her return finalizes a period of transition for the library’s governing body. President Look remarked on the new dynamic, congratulating everyone on their efforts in their first full board meeting together and highlighting the collaborative work ahead.
