Clark running for Library Board

Lewis Clark is running for the Boundary County Library trustee Zone 3, for a term of six years.

Clark and his family moved to North Idaho in the beginning of 2013 after retiring from a police career in northern California.

“In 2016, I was sworn in as a reserve deputy and became a Boundary County chaplain,” he said. “Last year, I was nominated as the vice president of the Boundary County Fire Chiefs Association. A few weeks ago, I was made an elder at Mt. Hall Community Church where I am a leader in the youth group.”

Clark said his desire to run for a position on the library board stems in part from his law enforcement career, especially his time investigating child abuse cases.

“It also stems from my last seven to eight years as a youth leader. I know God charges us and it is our duty to protect our children and frankly, any material that would be illegal under state or federal law should not be knowingly disseminated to a minor by a public library,” he said. “So, in short, this is why I am putting my hat into this election for the library board.”
