The Coos Bay City Council appointed Janice Longlinet and Gina Sutherland to two open seats on the Coos Bay Public Library Board following interviews conducted at the council meeting.

A council member moved to appoint Longlinet and Sutherland to the two positions; the motion was seconded, council discussion was brief and the motion passed by voice vote with no opposition. The council thanked the other applicant who interviewed and encouraged that person to remain engaged with the library and other volunteer opportunities.

Councilors and staff highlighted the importance of volunteers to library operations and community programs. The council did not specify term lengths or additional conditions during the meeting; staff will follow up on appointment paperwork and terms.
