The Library Board of Trustees have responsibility through the City of the general care, administration and policy making for the library.
The Board engages in an ongoing planning process, which assesses the needs of the library and the role of the library in the community and ensure that the library develops to meet those needs.
Trustees occasionally attend the City Council meeting to report on activities and/or advocate on behalf of the library.
All Trustees are expected to attend monthly board meetings, appropriate continuing education workshops and conferences, and library programs as their schedules allow.
Associate Trustees are non-voting members(s) of the Board except for the absence of a Trustee.
