Enriching Lives, Providing Resources
Helping people develop ideas, learn and improve their lives – that’s
what the Monterey Public Library is all
about. By providing materials and services that enrich the intellectual, recreational and
cultural life of the community, the Library serves a purpose unlike any other institution.
The Monterey Library Board of Trustees is charged with continuing this long tradition of
enrichment."The Monterey Public Library staff continually strives
to make its services and material more accessible and responsive to the needs of our
community. It's an adventure being part of that effort in our dynamic world." - Harry
Wareham, Chair, Library Board of Trustees
What do they deal with?
Unlike other City boards and commissions, the Library Board
of Trustees is an administrative board and hires the Library Director and recommends the
Library’s budget to the City Council.
Generally, cultural and educational institutions have
similar structures to help ensure that outside influences do not encumber intellectual
freedom or the public’s access to information that reflects many points of view.
Established by the City Charter in 1911, the five-member Board also selects material for
the Library and enforces Library regulations.
