Kristen Smith

(Incumbent)

Why are you running?

I'm running for Library Trustee because as a former librarian, I believe libraries are the cornerstone of a compassionate, thoughtful, and well-educated community. I want to continue my work with the Library Trustees and Library Director to create a space Wrentham deserves; to expand the library's collections, services, and events so everyone has a space to feel welcome.

Bio

After earning my Master's in Library and Information Science, I held various positions serving communities through libraries including research intern, adult literacy instructor, and librarian.

Since my election in 2024 (1-year term) to the Fiske Library Trustees, I was appointed as Secretary and helped to manage a refresh of the Library's policy manual. I've worked to advocate for library funding, resources, and staffing.

I continually strive to engage in Wrentham's close-knit community including:

Past volunteer for Metacomet Greenway Association
Member of Wrentham Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
Secretary for Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC)

I would greatly appreciate your vote on Monday, April 7.
