Three candidates seeking election to three open seats on the La Grange Public Library board of trustees were endorsed Wednesday night by the La Grange Citizens' Council, following interviews conducted in the Village Hall auditorium.
The candidates slated by the council are:
- Caroline Coryell, an incumbent trustee who has served on the library board since 1985. She also is a retired La Grange shopowner.
- Bridgette O'Connor, a newcomer to local politics. Employed as a control oversight associate and certified fraud examiner for an undisclosed entity, she has resided in La Grange for the past two years.
- John Reardon, another first-time office-seeker. A retired self-employed professional engineer, he has lived in La Grange for 11 years.
A fourth candidate, David Paulus, also was interviewed by the council, but did not make the cut. Also a newcomer to local politics, he is an associate creative director at SPM Marketing in La Grange, and has resided in the village for 10 years.
La Grange Today will publish more details about the candidates and their interviews next week.
