Patricia Brunjes, from Clinton, Wash., has been elected to the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation Board of Directors.
Brunjes retired as the superintendent of the Glenwood School District in 2000. Her extensive career as a high school and college educator in the Northwest includes positions as speech and English teacher, librarian, and assistant principal.
Brunjes remains active in her community as co-chair of the Whidbey Island Writers Association, past president and current member of the Friends of the Clinton Library, member of Sno-Isle’s Whidbey Reads committee and several other community groups.
“At a time when we are losing libraries and library services, I see it as imperative that we keep these treasures alive. Libraries are community cores, assisting people, not only to read books, … but to keep abreast of changes in culture,” remarked Brunjes.
The Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation welcomes Brunjes; her years of experience in education, libraries, and leadership make her a valuable addition to the Board.
