At the July 2 meeting of the Ayer Library District Board of Trustees, Board President Tracie Butler issued the oath of office to Lanelle Graffis to fill a vacant seat on the board. The appointment was made during the board’s regular monthly session, held at the Ayer Library in Delavan.

Graffis, a supporter of community initiatives, brings a background in civic engagement and a passion for literacy to the role. Her appointment fills one of the remaining vacancies the board has been working to address in recent months, following a series of leadership transitions earlier this year.

Graffis will serve the remainder of the term associated with the vacant seat and is eligible to seek reappointment or election when the term expires. The board continues to encourage residents interested in public service to consider future openings.

The Ayer Library District Board of Trustees meets monthly and oversees policy, budgeting, and strategic planning for the library.
