Join Our Board!
The Board of Trustees of the Queen Anne’s County Library is actively seeking two new members to fill vacant board seats.
The QACL Board of Trustees is the library’s governing body and is comprised of volunteers representing all areas of the county. Trustees come to their volunteer roles with a range of experiences and backgrounds and a strong desire to ensure the long-term vitality of our public libraries. The board meets monthly at 6:30 pm on the fourth Monday of each month with a break in July and December. Meetings, which are open to the public, alternate between the Kent Island and Centreville branches.
Finalist interviews will occur in September, with the Board of Trustees vote on new members held at its September 29 meeting. A board member’s term is three years with the option of renewing for two additional three-year terms. Terms will commence in October. For more information, visit https://www.qaclibrary.org/board.
The deadline for applications is August 15, 2025.

- hiring and evaluating the library’s director;
setting strategic priorities for the library;
providing oversight to ensure that library resources are used appropriately and effectively to achieve t.hose priorities;

serving as ambassadors to the community and as advocates with policy makers.
