Service on the Library Board of Trustees
“Government is a trust, and the officers of government are trustees; and both the trust and trustees are created for the benefit of the people.” — Henry Clay, 1829
The library board is entrusted by the community with the responsibility for ensuring that the library provides the best service possible in the present, and is able to continue to do so in the future. Together, its members set library policy, monitor the library’s budget and overall effectiveness, and participate in planning and advocacy activities for sustainable development. More information about the roles and responsibilities of library trustees is available from the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives, or by contacting Director Mark Adler at (859) 987-4419, x 103.
