Cuba Circulating Library Board of Trustees Seeks Interested Individuals for Trustee Position

The Cuba Circulating Library Board of Trustees wants to hear from individuals interested in being considered for appointment to a three-year term on the board, starting in January 2024. The individual would fill the seat of a trustee whose term expires at the end of this year.

Library trustees must live within the geographic limits of the library district. The board seeks individuals who are library users, are informed about library issues, and are able to attend and participate in regular board meetings. The board meets the second Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the library, 39 E. Main St. in Cuba.

Trustees are responsible for upholding the library’s mission of providing free and equal access to information, knowledge and learning. Duties include, among other things, adopting policies and rules regarding library governance and use, securing adequate funding for library programs, exercising fiduciary responsibility for the use of public and private funds, planning and evaluating library programs, and maintaining a facility that meets the community’s needs.

Trustees are appointed by the full board and may serve up to two consecutive three-year terms.

Anyone wishing to be considered for appointment to the board is asked to email the library at cuba@stls.org no later than Friday, November 10, 2023. Include your full name, address, phone number, a brief biographical sketch, and a paragraph about why you would like to serve as a library trustee.
