Library Board Trustee Position Vacancy
Open Trustee Position
The Cambridge Community Library is seeking one individual who is interested in being an advocate
for their local library. As a Trustee, you would work with other community members together with
the Director of the Library, under Chapter 43 of the Wisconsin State statutes, to plan and direct
the funding and services for the Cambridge Community Library. Our current open seat is for a
community member who lives within the Village of Cambridge (Dane County).
Serving as a public library trustee takes serious commitment. You must be able to:
● attend regular (monthly) Board meetings
● be a contributing part of committees when needed
● have regular access to your email
● review appropriate documents ahead of the meeting (which are emailed to you and available on the
library’s website)
● advocate for the library; providing clear, accurate, and timely information on library issues to
people who need it in order to make sound decisions on those issues.
Board meetings are on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, at 6:30 pm inside the Amundson Community Room
or the Cambridge Community Library. We will provide access to a Trustee Google Drive, which will
have training materials and other important information needed to provide accurate and informed
decisions.
The Cambridge Community Library serves residents in both Dane and Jefferson counties, and is a
consortium member of South Central Library System, along with 50+ other public libraries.
If you have any additional questions about this position, you may visit the library, e-mail me at
