Board of Trustees

Lisa has been a Minot resident for over 30 years and served the community on the board of selectmen for the past eight years. She is proud to serve on the APL board of trustees. She has fond memories of hanging out in the kids' room at the Lewiston Library reading Nancy Drew on Saturday mornings with the neighborhood kids.

Sharon, from Auburn, is a lifelong member of APL bringing a background of non-profit finance in support of the Library’s mission.

Books and libraries have always been an important part of her life! Pat retired after 25 years of working with students as the librarian at Edward Little High School. She is still reading and learning! Being on the APL Board of Trustees has been an honor. She thanks the APL staff for their work and customers for your continued support of APL.

Rick's mother, Phyllis Newton Whiting, taught him the value of this library through weekly visits beginning at a young age, and he has been a regular user ever since. He has been a BookReach reader for 20+ years and has previously served on the Board in multiple capacities.

Born and raised in Auburn, Amy is a proud member of the Auburn School Department.  Currently the Principal at Walton Elementary School, Amy is proud to serve as the Auburn School Department representative to the APL Board of Trustees.  Literacy has always played an important role in her life and she values what the Auburn Public Library offers to the local and surrounding communities. 

Nicole (she/her), a recovering public educator, grew up in Auburn and now resides in Minot. She works for the Maine Humanities Council, loves dogs, enjoys all vegetables, believes books have the power to unite us and libraries are for everyone.

From Ralph's first encounter with the Hardy Boys detective series in the Milford Public Library growing up in 1950s New Jersey, books, libraries, and librarians have guided him and been a refuge on his life’s journey. Since moving here in 1986, his family feels fortunate to have this important resource.

Courtney (they/them) is a writer, performer, editor, educator, cultural worker, story person, and all-around book nerd who intended to become a librarian or a carpenter after completing their MFA but somehow ended up on APL’s Board instead. They live in Auburn and serve as the Arts Agency Administrator for LA Arts.

Jennifer lives in Auburn with her husband, Jim. She has two grown children who live in the Boston area and is a native of Auburn. She was a frequent patron of APL growing up tagging along with her Dad and has fond memories of the children’s room and a very helpful and enthusiastic librarian, Mrs. Cote, who inspired her. She was a HS librarian for 27 years working at Jay High School, Edward Little, and Lewiston HS. She was lucky to be able to have a career that she loved, working with teenagers to promote information skills and the love of new ideas and reading. She looks forward to promoting and supporting APL.
