About the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees meets on the third Monday of each month at 6 p.m. in the library’s Community Room. Each trustee is also assigned to at least two committees that meet on an as-needed basis. Library trustees should show a strong interest in the welfare of the library and its place in the community. Library board meetings are public meetings, and discussions and voting take place in person rather than through electronic communication. 

Some important issues before the Board include intellectual freedom and library funding. Priority consideration will be given to applicants with expertise in finance, estate planning, or human resources. Board responsibilities include approving long-range goals and monitoring short-range objectives, approving the annual budget and capital expenditures, establishing policy, and evaluating the performance of the library director and fiscal officer.
