Library Director Candidates to Put Their Best Skype Faces On

Excerpt: The Waukee Public Library doesn’t have a new director — yet.

With three strong candidates, the Library Board of Trustees decided to interview them again using Skype.

“All three have qualities about them that are really strong,” said Shane Blanchard, the Waukee City Council liaison to the board.

Three candidates for the position — Louise Alcorn, Jill Pannkuk and Erik Surber — gave public presentations on June 30.

The Waukee Library Board of Trustees had planned to announce a new director this week. It held a closed meeting Friday night to further discuss the candidates.
