Library Board of Trustees
Library trustees are volunteers appointed by the mayor of Champaign. The Board sets policy for the library and appoints the library director, who serves as the library’s chief executive officer. Trustees serve a three-year term.
Note: We’ll be adding profiles of each board member throughout 2008; click on any names in blue to learn more about them.
