Board of Trustees

The Library Board of Trustees is a 7-member board empowered by NH RSA to adopt policies, prepare an annual budget and hire staff to run the daily operations of the library. They are elected for three-year terms. The Trustees typically meet on the 3rd Monday of the month, at the library, at 6:30 pm. Check the online calendar for exact times. 

They are members of the NH Library Trustees Association and attend conferences and workshops to stay abreast of trends and issues in libraries. The Trustees of the Amherst Town Library are committed to making the Library innovative, cost-effective, and proactive in contributing to the overall quality of community life.

To contact the entire board, please email trustees@amherstlibrary.org.
