Park Ridge Public Library
After Mayor Marty Maloney appointed three candidates earlier this month to serve the next three-year terms on the Park Ridge Library Board of Trustees, the library board was able to confirm the appointments and elect officers for the coming year on Tuesday, Aug. 16. Normally the three-year terms start in July.
Completing her third term, Karen Burkham reached the maximum nine-year limit for consecutive service, but continued until the new trustees could be appointed. She was a veteran of years of planning, two cycles of renovation, construction and the COVID closures/reopening which have challenged the library to set new goals for modernizing the collection and services.
The new member of the board is Theresa Renaldi, a marketing communication consultant with 20 years of professional experience, including a foundation in public relations. She served for three years as a trustee for the Dist. 64 Elementary Learning Foundation (ELF).
Reappointed were Alexandrea Hanba and David Somheil.
Hanba, previously vice president, was elected as president. Somheil will serve a second term as treasurer. Josh Kiem, who served as secretary from 2019 to 2020, will serve as vice president. Danielle Powers was named secretary. Officers are appointed for one-year terms.
During the last year when there were a number of recent appointees to board seats, the trustees conducted an extensive review of library rules and policies, with several trustees paired for each committee, so they could understand and update the library operations together.
