Board of Trustees
The governance of Lexington Public Library is under the direction of 7 Trustees and up to 10 Advisors who guide the long-term strategies for the Lexington Public Library, including the long range plan, annual budget cycle, advocating for the library and for library customers, and policy recommendations.
Lexington Public Library’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion extends to the Board of Trustees and Advisors. Each vacancy is evaluated based on gender and gender identity, racial diversity, council district representation, age, and organizational experience.
All Trustees and Advisors are recommended by the Library and appointed by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council. The 4-year commitment includes a monthly meeting at 4:30pm on the 2nd Wednesday of each month and each member is expected to serve on one Board Committee.
