Library Board Seeking New Trustees

The Harrison Library Board of Trustees is accepting applications to fill open positions on its nine-member board.

Board members set policies and provide fiscal oversight to Harrison's and branches. Candidates are selected to a five-year term and this is a volunteer position.

Successful trustees will take on the position with "care, loyalty and obedience," according to the New York State Board of Regents' description of the position. Trustees will work with other board members to ensure both of Harrison's libraries are using resources effectively while striving to meet the library's goals.

During the five-year term, trustees will also be charged with guiding the library in its missions and desires working toward the future.

The library board will interview all candidates before making a recommendation to the Harrison Town Board. Anyone interested in joining the board is urged to e-mail a cover letter and resume to harrisonlibrarytrustees@gmail.com .
