The Montclair Public Library is governed by a 9 member Board of Trustees, appointed by the Mayor who serve for 5 year terms. By statute the Mayor and Superintendent are also members of the board. New Jersey law gives the Library Board the power to “do all things necessary and proper for the establishment and maintenance of the free public library in the municipality” (N.J.S.A. §40:54-12). It is independent of Montclair Township and was established by a vote of the residents on April 12, 1893.
Terms are designated in parenthesis and expire on December 31 of the year listed.
Meetings of the Montclair Public Library Board of Trustees are open to the public pursuant with the State of New Jersey’s Open Public Meetings Act. All meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Library auditorium unless otherwise noted.
Please note that due to the COVID Pandemic the following meetings will be held virtually until further notice. Login information is available on the Library events calendar for each meeting.
