NWRL Board
The Board of Trustees represents the library to citizens and local government officials. It is the trustees’ obligation to advocate for adequate funds to provide good library service, to promote the best possible use of all library resources in the region, to improve existing libraries, and to extend library service to those not currently served.
The Board of Trustees of the Northwest Regional Library typically meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 4:30 PM at the NWRL Headquarters
