Board of Trustees and Staff Members

Yates Community Library is chartered by the Education Department of the State of New York as an Association Library.  The Library Board consists of between five and nine Trustees who are elected by the Association for three-year terms during the Annual Meeting conducted in March.  Members of the library’s service area are welcome to attend and participate in this meeting as members of the Association.
