Meetings are typically held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the Downtown San Rafael Library, Library Meeting Room, San Rafael, California 94901; however, meetings are being held virtually due to the pandemic. AN ALYSIS On June 29, 2020, the City Council interviewed Cheryl Lentini, among other applicants, for the Board of Library Trustees and ultimately appointed another applicant to the term.

On October 1, 2020, the City Clerk’s office received a resignation from member Josh Libresco whose term was set to expire at the end of April 2023. Based on the City Council’s recent interview and appointment of Cheryl Lentini, staff recommends the appointment of Cheryl Lentini to fill the position.
