Meet Our Trustees Q&A Jeremy Clemans Q: Why did you choose to become a Concord Public Library Trustee? A: I wanted to give back to my community and I was looking for a way that allowed me to do so in a meaningful way with an entity that I fee strongly about. Q: What part of the potential renovation do you think will be the most beneficial service/function to the community? A:Having a space where the library can adequately display its full collection while also serving as a true community space — serving the wide and ever changing needs of our community. Q: What’s your favorite library service? A:With three young kids, my favorite library service is the children’s room. I can’t wait to be able to spend some quality time back in that area with my children, observing their love for books grow.
