FHL is lead by a volunteer board of directors consisting of 9 community members including the Homer Public Library’s director. Each member of the board of directors serves for a three year term. Each April, directors are elected on a staggered schedule at the annual meeting along with the board's officers, which are elected annually.

The current board includes President Sue Mauger, Vice President Sean Campbell, Treasurer Marylou Burton, Secretary Andy Haas, Library Director Ann Dixon, Frank Vondersaar, Royce Page, Cleo Webb and student member Katie Schmidt.

Each member joined the FHL board for a different reason. Please take a moment to read some of their thoughts.

Sue Mauger - "Some of my strongest childhood memories include discovering the joy of reading books, going to the town library to find new treasures and dreaming of being a writer one day. Good books have been important in my life and have inspired me to search for new adventures and great places. I am proud to be on the FHL Board working with an amazing group of volunteers who are committed to creating a community space that will bring the joy of books to all ages and provide room for exploration and dreaming."

Marylou Burton - “Even if I could afford to buy all the books I want to read (and I can’t), and even if I had room in my small house to store all those books that I can’t afford (and I don’t), I would still tromp down to the library once a week, trade in my read (or, sometimes, NOT read) books, and check out a new batch. It’s the concept of the public library that attracts me, almost as much as the books themselves. Serving on the FHL board is one way to make sure that the library is always there for me – and for you.”

Cleo Webb -"...the reason I got involved with the Friends of the Library was because my friend Joy Griffin introduced me to the Friends and I was hooked. I have a love for libraries and reading and I felt this was a way for me to help promote our Homer Public Library.”
