Board of Trustees
The Barre Board of Library Trustees is made up of six members elected by the voters of Barre to advocate for and oversee the Woods Memorial Library. The Trustees manage the library’s annual municipal appropriation, which funds staff, materials, programs, services, utilities, and other operating costs. In addition, the Trustees set library policies and procedures, oversee municipal agreements that affect the library, and supervise the Library Director, who is responsible for managing the staff and daily operations. As an independently elected body, the Barre Board of Library Trustees holds the ultimate authority for the administration and management of the library on behalf of the community.
