Calvert Library’s Art in the Stacks program is pleased to feature local photographer Ray K. Saunders for the months of November and December at Calvert Library Prince Frederick.

 

For Ray K. Saunders it’s all about the images, the moments and the light.

 

He’s been in love with photography since he was a young boy. From the Kodak Instamatic he used in grade school to his first 35mm camera. From his first photograph published in a local newspaper when he was in high school, to his front-page photos in The Washington Post. His father, a photographer, encouraged and critiqued him along the way, providing him with cameras as his talent emerged.

 

Ray spent his professional life as a photojournalist working for newspapers in Virginia, spending 23 years as a photo editor at The Washington Post.

 

Ray has been a North Beach, MD, resident since the early 1990’s, raising three children and renovating a house. He now splits his time between North Beach and Nantucket, MA. Both areas are rich for photography.

 

The Chesapeake Bay has always been a special place for Ray throughout his life. He has chronicled the scenes, boats, people and wildlife of the region.

Calvert Library Board Applications Being Accepted (press release)

 

Calvert Library Board Applications Being Accepted

November 2, 2022

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Robyn Truslow
410-535-0291

Calvert Library announces two pending vacancies on the Calvert Board of Library Trustees (BOLT). These Board vacancies have been created by the end of the term of sitting Trustees who are eligible for and seeking re-appointment.  However, all qualified applicants are welcome and all candidates will be assessed using the same criteria.  Applications are accepted through November 15, 2022.

The responsibilities of the Board of Library Trustees are established by State Code. The Board is responsible for governance and fiscal oversight; approving library policies and budget and overseeing the work of the Executive Director. The Board is comprised of 7 community members who volunteer their time and support to the library. Officers include President, Vice President and Secretary. Responsibilities include monthly meetings; the board currently meets at 4:00pm on third Tuesdays. Once a quarter, meetings are held in person at one of the four library locations and the remainder of the meetings are held virtually on Zoom. In addition to regular meetings, there is an annual meeting of the Southern Maryland Regional Library Association Corporation that Board members are invited to attend and an annual Citizens for Maryland Libraries meeting generally held on a Saturday in October.

Service on the BOLT is a volunteer public office with a normal appointment term of five years.  The open terms begin in January 2023 and lasts through December of 2028. While State law provides that individuals may serve more than one term (but not more than two full terms in succession), each term is separate and requires application, nomination by the Board and appointment by the Board of County Commissioners.  Appointment to one term does not create an entitlement to serve more than one term.  The Board appreciates that experience on the Board is a significant factor to be considered, but recognizes that other factors may also be significant including, but not limited to: the quality of past performance; current Board composition; specific current needs of the Board; and, the comparative qualifications of all applicants.  Additionally, since Board membership is a privilege, all eligible County citizen should have equal access to consideration for this privilege.

Details and a link to the online application can be found at https://calvertlibrary.info/about-us/board-of-trustees/meet-the-board/.
