Note: Edgartown Library Trustees, like approximately half their counterparts across the state, are
elected directly and hold three-year terms. Boards of trustees set general policies for administration and
operation, acting as an agent of public trust governing the library. The trustees and library director work
together as partners. Trustee responsibilities are generally divided into six major categories: Legal,
human resources, planning and evaluation, governance and policy-making, financial and continuing
education. The Trustees meet in open sessions which are publicly posted at the town hall.
