Board of Trustees

About the FFL Board of Trustees

The Fayetteville Free Library (FFL) is chartered by the NYS Education Department as a Free Association Library. Therefore, the library is governed by a member board comprised of individuals who reside within the community it is chartered to serve, as determined by the NYS Education Department. Members are selected via a 2021 Board developed and approved Strategic Board Development Process.

The Board is currently accepting applicants for an upcoming opening. We are seeking candidates who are:

• F-M district residents
• Passionate about the importance of the library in our community
• Able to commit 1-3 hours/week to this volunteer position
• Experience in any of the following fields is especially valued: libraries, education, facilities

We are actively seeking to diversify our board. Applicants of all races, genders, ages, ethnicities, abilities, and backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, July 15th, 2025.
