The Newberg Library Advisory Board will hold a Special Meeting on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at the library.

After receiving over 30 applications for the Library Advisory Board open positions, the current Library Advisory Board will review and score written questions from the applicants and decide which applicants to invite to the in-person interviews taking place on Thursday, November 20, 2025, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

This meeting will take place during the library’s closed hours, so the meeting will take place just inside the currently used entrance to the library. The library will not be open for other use at this time.  

For questions please contact Library Director Korie Jones Buerkle at korie.buerkle@newbergoregon.gov

  • The Board makes policy for the library and provides citizen input on library operations.
  • Meetings are usually held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:00 pm (no meetings June or July 2025)
