The Fairfax Community Library has two openings on the Board of Trustees in 2024. If you are a Fairfax resident and interested in public service, please consider becoming a Library Trustee.

A Library Trustee serves on a five-member board to provide support for the library's mission and as strong advocates for the library. Responsibilities include directing the library's funds and policies, hiring and evaluating public library staff and supporting the library director, participating at Board meetings, and occasionally sharing tasks between meetings. The Library Board of Trustees typically meet once every other month. Since our public library and school library share the same space and mutual interests, representatives from the Board of Trustees also attend Joint Committee meetings twice a year with school and town representatives. Library Trustees serve for three years.

If you wish to be on the ballot on the Fairfax Town Meeting Day 2024 for one of two open positions, obtain a petition at the Fairfax Town Office as soon as possible and submit it to the Town Clerk with the required information in late January, 2024. For more information, contact Lisa Griswold at: grisvt15@gmail.com.
