KFAI contacted me almost 4 weeks ago. I received an email from a KFAI volunteer about this back on July 25. And I know they contacted the Friends of the Minneapolis Library to find more Library candidates. But even if you didn't receive a notice from KFAI, don't blame them--they are low budget, rely on volunteers and did make an effort. It has been on their Website for weeks. Candidates and campaigns are responsible for finding out about opportunities (I know how hard it was for the Friends of the Minneapolis Public Library to contact all the Library Board candidates).
