Trustee Application

By Colorado Library Law, public libraries are required to have a Library Board of Trustees. Park County has seven members on this board, representing each established library in the county. The board’s purpose is to work with the library manager to establish library policy and advise the library manager on matters of library direction and service to the communities. The library board works with the Board of County Commissioners in making recommendations for the library budget and in personnel issues, such as the employment of a library manager and annual personnel review.

The Board of County Commissioners is directly responsible for the Park County Public Libraries and supervision of the Libraries Manager.

  • Total Number of Trustees: 7
  • Term Length: 2 years for each trustee
