Petersburg’s Library Board has three open seats in next week’s municipal election. Five people are running. 

The board helps the library communicate with the public and plan for the future. It also acts as a sounding board for policy changes with Borough Librarian Tara Alcock.

KFSK’s Hannah Flor sat down with JoAnn Thynes to talk about why she’s running for the position. Thynes says she wants to be on the library board so that she can give back to the community.

Petersburg’s municipal election is Tuesday, October 3rd. Early voting is available weekdays from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the municipal building. 

KFSK also interviewed candidates Lizzie Thompson, Mary Ellen Anderson, and Marilynn Menish- Meucci. Candidate Tina Buschmann declined KFSK’s request to be interviewed.
