Appointment of an Alternate Lay Representative from the Georgetown Library i or Board to Central
Texas Library System C
ITEM SUNENrURY
The Central Texas Library System is the regional cooperative system designed to provide services and
materials to public libraries using state and federal Binds. A Lay Representative from each library
community provides citizen input by voting on certain issues and electing the Advisory Board which males
all major decisions. The Georgetown Library Board has traditionally elected the Lay Representative, but
clarification of the regulations has stated that the governing body must appoint the Lay Representative and
alternate.
The Council appointed John Duer as Lay Representative and Fancy Snead as Alternative Lay
:Representative for two-year terms in November, 1992. Ms. Snead has resigned due to other commitments.
The Library Board recommends to the City Council that Jean-Marie :Mendez be appointed Alternate Lay
Representative. Ms. Mendez, a member of the Library Advisory Board, has expressed an interest in
learning more about the system and representing Georgetown citizens at the meetings,

LAY REPRESENTATIVE
The Lay Representative is the community's voice in the planning of System services. Since the
System provides services to libraries rather than directly to the public, it would be easy to lose
sight of the fact that everything we do should benefit the public. The Lay Representative's role
is to assure that the public is heard in the planning process.
The Lay Representative is the only person who can cast a library's votes forSystem se{yices, and
much emphasis is placed on having the Lay Representative present at meetings where a vote
will be taken. However, a Lay Representative who shows up only to vote may not know how
to vote on important issues. What's more, a vote may be taken only once a year, but there are
opportunities throughout the year for the Lay Representative to express opinions and thus help
shape the program for the coming year.
Since the System has members from a multi -county area, most meetings will involve out-of-town
travel. These meetings are held on week days. The Lay Representative will be expected to
attend at least three meetings a year, maybe six or more if he or she serves on a committee.
A Lay Representative should be aware of the needs of his or her local community and the
programs currently offered by the library. In addition, he or she should take advantage of
orientation and training offered by the System in order to understand how the System works and
thus be a more e ective advocate.
If the Lay Representative is not a member of the local library board, he or she should be invited
to meet regularly with the board to hear their concems and to report on System activities.
Ideally, the Loy Representative should also be willing to act as a spokesperson for the library
to the State Legislature and the Congress, the sources of System funds. This role may include
letter -writing, uraing others to write letters, and participation in the Texas Library Association
activities. Several legislators have said that while they enjoy hearing from librarians, they really
want to know what Icy su-Porters have to scy.
Serving as a Lay Representative can be fun a:-,d revrcrding. It offers the opportunity to rneet
regularly with representatives or other libraries to exchange ideas on libraries and other areas
of mutual interest. Many Lay Representatives even decide to join the Friends and Trustees'
Round Tob!e of the Texas Library Association to extend these opportunities.
The Loy Re resent :tive is in a unique position to improve area and state-wide library service
as well as service at t;,e ICC-_1 level.
