Topsham Public Library Board of Trustees seeks Interested Community Members!


The Governance Committee of the Topsham Public Library Board of Trustees seeks interested community members to fill two open Board seats beginning July, 2013.

The twelve member Board of Trustees is the governing body responsible for setting policy and overseeing overall operation of the library as implemented by the Library Director, Susan M. Preece.  The Library’s mission, to provide residents of all ages with books, informational resources, technology and services to stimulate personal growth and enrichment while serving as a center of study and community activities, guides the Board as it fulfills these duties. 

Trustees serve three year terms, meeting once monthly, currently on the third Wednesday of each month, with additional time devoted to committee participation (trustees may serve two consecutive, three-year terms). Applications for the Board of Trustees are available at the library and on our website, and are due by May 25, 2013.  Candidate interviews will be held by appointment on June 5, 2013.

For more information about applying to be a member of the library Board of Trustees, contact us at 725-1727, visit our website at www.topshamlibrary.org or email director@topshamlibrary.org. The Topsham Public Library is located at 25 Foreside Road in Topsham.
