County commissioners announced two key appointments amid a crowded field of applicants. Guie Stromme, Republican chair, won the county librarian post, replacing Annie McGrath after four years, while Lottie Smith was reappointed clerk of ownership records, succeeding Kate Hanratty. Board members share power but a third member’s concession shaped the decision. Additional hires include janitors and a planned new stock office amid ongoing staff reshuffles.
