Library Board of Trustees

 



A nine-member Board of Trustees, appointed by the Mayor, oversees the library's budget, expenses, and policies. Trustees serve for three-year terms and may be reappointed indefinitely. Officers are nominated and elected by the Board for one-year terms with reelection options. A City Council Representative attends board meetings and serves as the liaison between the city and the library board.

Board meetings are open to the public and held on the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Rolling Meadows Library, 3110 Martin Lane. Please call the library at 847-259-6050 if you would like to attend a meeting and reserve your seat as space is limited.
