Board of Trustees

In Ohio, a Public Library Board of Trustees member serves a term of four years, which is renewable. (Prior to 2026, terms were seven years; some Board Members are serving four year terms while others are serving seven year terms.) Because the State Library defines our library's geographical legal service area to be the area represented by the Archbold Area Local School District, and because Public Library Boards in Ohio have no authority to raise revenue, the Archbold Area Local School District Board of Education acts as our taxing authority.  Also because of this designation, the Local School Board appoints all members of the Archbold Community Library Board of Trustees.
