Section 1

The Role of a Library Trustee

In order to provide quality library service, the Library requires a working team of an Executive Director and nine members of the Board of Trustees who are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. It is critical that members of the Board be engaged, informed, and willing to perform the duties of a Trustee. Trustees provide oversight of library policies and budget, employ and evaluate the Executive Director, assist with evaluating library use and long-range planning, and are advocates for the library within the community and with library partners.
