Cole retires from Heights Library board of trustees; new members sought

Heights Libraries Board of Trustees President

Audrey Cole, president of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library Board of Trustees, has announced that she will retire from the board in December. Her announcement came during the Oct. 17 board meeting.                       

Cole joined the board in 2004. She served on both the planning and external relations and operations committees, and served as president in 2011. Cole was involved in many projects at the library, including the renovations of the Lee Road branch in 2005–06 and the Noble Neighborhood branch during 2010–11.

“Audrey has served the library with great skill and good humor during her seven-year term,” said Nancy Levin, Heights Libraries director. “She has been a champion of library services in these lean budgetary times and an excellent steward of public funds.”      

With Cole’s term ending and Jason Stein’s resignation in June, the library is currently seeking applicants to fill two vacated board of trustees positions.

One position will be for a five-year term, the other a seven-year term. Any resident of Cleveland Heights or University Heights is eligible to apply.

Applications are available at the Lee Road Library, 2345 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, and at the Office of the Superintendent of Schools, 2155 Miramar Blvd., University Heights. Applications must be returned to the library administrative office or the Office of the Superintendent no later than noon on Monday, Nov. 21.
