La Grange Library Trustee Rose Taylor last night resigned from the library board, explaining that she was no longer eligible to serve as trustee because she and her husband, Robert, had recently moved to Indian Head Park.

Taylor, who was elected to the library board in 2007, would have faced re-election next April.
Her resignation ensures that next year there will be at least two new faces on the library board. Another trustee, Steve Wolf, last month announced that he would not seek re-election.
Library Board President Becky Spratford said the board would appoint an interim replacement to fill Taylor's seat, but would avoid choosing anyone who is seeking election to the board next April out of concern that the appointment would be viewed as an endorsement.
Instead, trustees last night supported a proposal from Spratford to attempt to fill the vacancy with one of a number of past library trustees who still reside in the community.
Spratford said her idea was to appoint someone "who can come up to speed quickly and knows what is expected of them."
Jeannie Dilger-Hill, the library's director, said she would prepare a list of eligible former trustees in reverse chronological order, beginning with Rick Adamczyk, whom Taylor replaced in 2007.
Taylor said she submitted her resignation with sadness, but that moving to a condominium in Indian Head Park would offer a living arrangement more suitable for her husband, who is battling cancer.
The couple also will keep their home in La Grange, which will continue to be occupied by other family members. This will allow Taylor to retain her La Grange library card and continue to be active with the library in other capacities, she said.
Taylor was an employee of the La Grange library for 12 years, serving as director of youth services until 2006, when she accepted the job as director of the public library in Bridgeview.

Awesome post Nick. It's wonderful to see how many businesses and brands are taking advantage of Facebook pages. But I agree, it has to be executed correctly to be effective. Great ideas here!
