JACOB SEARS MEMORIAL LIBRARY
ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANNUAL MEETING


In accordance with our Bylaws, the Annual Meeting of the Jacob Sears Memorial Library Corporation is scheduled for Thursday May 19, 2022 at 7:30 pm at the library.  The meeting is open to everyone, but only “qualified voters” may vote on matters on the agenda.  Under the library’s Acts of Incorporation approved by the Massachusetts Legislature, “qualified voters” must be
  • At least 18 years old, and
  • Residents of Quivett Neck for at least one year prior, as reflected in the voter registration rolls of the Town of Dennis
Qualified voters are especially encouraged to attend the meeting.  Those unable to attend may cast proxy ballots in advance at the library.


Planned Agenda:
  • Election of one Trustee for a term of 3 years
  • Election of 5 Advisors for a term of 1 year each
  • Election of a Clerk
  • Librarian’s report
  • Treasurer’s financial report for the library’s previous fiscal year
  • Approval of the Library’s budget for the coming fiscal year
  • Amendment of the Library’s Bylaws (see below)


Election of Trustee and Advisors
The Trustees intend to nominate a slate of candidates for the Trustee and Advisor positions, as follows:
  • Trustee:  Jennifer Kinder
  • Board of Advisors:  Thomas Walsh (incumbent), Dyane Cooney (incumbent), Lois Katanik, Donald Hunter, and Eli Whitney
  • Clerk:  Barbara Durst
Additional nominations may be made “from the floor” at the Annual Meeting.


Amendment of the Library’s Bylaws
The Trustees propose amendment of the Bylaws in the following ways:
  • Make scheduling of the Annual Meeting more flexible;
  • Simplify and make more flexible the Committee structures, membership, and leadership;
  • Simplify the Joint Trustee/Advisory Board meeting schedule and process.
A markup of the current Bylaws showing the proposed changes is available at the library, on the library’s website (jacobsearslibrary.org under the About the Library tab) or by email request from jacobsearsmemoriallibrary@gmail.com    Copies of the Treasurer’s Report and Proposed FY23 Budget will also be available at the library for review prior to the Annual Meeting. ​
