Library Seeks New Trustee
The Granby Free Public Library Board of Trustees seeks one new Library Trustee. All Granby residents are welcome to apply. The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the Granby Free Public Library. The Board works with the Library Director to oversee the Library's operation and administrative policies. The Trustees also support the Library through long-range policies, budgets, advocacy and public relations.
The Board typically meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6pm in the Library. This Trustee position would fill the unexpired term until the next Annual Town Election in May. This Trustee could run for the remainder of this term which expires in 2026. Typically, Trustees fill a three-year term. This is an opportunity to fill this role to decide if someone is truly interested in serving in this capacity.
Interested applicants should write a letter of interest to the Library Trustees and Director by November 8, 2024. Feel free to contact Jennifer Crosby, Library Director at the Library if you have further questions.
