River Valley Board of Trustees

The RVDL Board of Trustees exercises control over library policies and procedures. They meet monthly to discuss library operations, approve expenditures, and plan for the library’s future. The board also plays a key role in hiring and evaluating the library director, who manages day-to-day operations. Library boards help maintain transparency, ensure responsible use of public funds, and support the library’s mission to provide access to information, resources, and programs for the community.
