Historian (Not a "standing committee", but an appointed position that need not necessarily be staffed by a member of the Board).
The Historian is charged with keeping a record, both written and in pictures (when appropriate), of all important events of the Board of Directors of FOWVL. These include those in which the Board participates with the Library, as well as with the community.
The person charged by the Board with this responsibility is currently: Kathleen Young.
All members of FOWVL are encouraged and welcomed to be members of any of the committees.
