Elkins will replace former board member Robert J. Vesmas of Niles who passed away following a lengthy illness. A prosecuting attorney for Trumbull County, Elkins lives in Newton Falls with his wife Patricia and three children. His legal expertise will be an excellent resource in our policymaking function. Four library board members are appointed by the county commissioners and three by the judges of the Common Pleas Court.
All appointees serve unpaid, seven-year terms.
