Tracy Fitzmaurice – Jackson County Library Board Member

She attends meetings, gives reports, and answers questions.

Is this too much to ask of one person? She is on six committees, four library boards, advises Macon & Swain counties as they prepare to be a two-county regional system, and advises Jackson County as they prepare to operate two stand-alone libraries.

YES, it is too much to ask.
