It takes a dedicated community to grow and maintain a quality library.
If you would like to dedicate some of your time and energy in this pursuit consider applying for a seat on the nine member Swarthmore Public Library Board of Trustees.
Trustee positions are for a three year term. Candidates must be residents or taxpayers of the Borough, of voting age, and able to obtain PA Criminal Background and Child Abuse Clearances. The Board typically meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm, except for the meetings in January (fourth Tuesday) and September (first Tuesday). Trustees are expected to serve on at least one committee: Strategic Planning, Personnel, Finance, Development, Nominating.
We are not accepting applications at this time. Look out for notices in September in the Swarthmorean, Library bulletin boards, on our website and Facebook page for when we are accepting applications.
