WARREN -- Donald W. Emerson Jr., executive director of the Trumbull Metropolitan Housing Authority, has been appointed to the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library Board of Trustees.

Four library board members are appointed by the commissioners and three by the county common pleas judges. All library board members serve unpaid seven-year terms.
The other board members are Lynn Griffith Jr., president; Martha Ellers, vice president; James Duff, secretary; Ellen Dieter, Margaret Dudt and James McFarland.
The library system has branches in Brookfield, Cortland, Howland, Liberty and Lordstown.
