Trustees are volunteers, appointed by the Douglas County Commissioners. The board adopts and oversees the budget, bylaws and policy; conducts long range planning; and hires and evaluates the library director. The board meets once a month, usually the third Thursday, at various library locations around the county. Specific meeting dates, and locations can be found here [1]. Questions or contact to trustees should be sent to trustees@dclibraries.org [2].
