As a library district, our 7-member board of trustees governs the library. Board members are elected at large from residents within the library district for 6-year terms. Trustee elections are held in odd-numbered years. Board members are not compensated for their service to the District. Trustees derive their authority and responsibilities from state law, 75 ILCS 16/ Public Library District Act of 1991.
Our current board is:
- Douglas Olivero (President)
- Kent Maze (Vice-President)
- Larry Sittler (Secretary)
- Jean Carter (Treasurer)
- Bo Windy
- Michael Watts
- Laurie Moss
