VOLUNTEER FOR THE BOARD

The Library can't function without its Trustees. Trustees create and oversee library policies, administer the budget, and set the strategic plan that steers the Library from one year to the next.

If you are interested in serving on the Board of Trustees, you're welcome to apply using the application below. If you have questions about the time commitment, responsibilities, and rewards of being a Trustee of the Library, please feel free to contact the Director by email or by phone, call the current Board President, or speak to the representatives from your own Township, Village, or City.
