Pulaski County Public Library
Apply to join the PCPL Board of Trustees and help shape the future of library services in our community.
The library board should reflect the community it serves by appointing active and committed residents, regardless of their various characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, etc. This diversity brings different perspectives, ideas, and expertise to the board, improving decision-making and considering the needs of all community members. Inclusion is also vital, creating an environment where everyone is valued and given equal opportunities to contribute. By embracing diversity and inclusion, the library board shows its commitment to equal opportunity and ensures relevant and accessible services for everyone.
This tool helps to identify current gaps and desired characteristics of your board. Each trustee completes this individual profile on him/herself and returns it to a selected person for compilation into a summary profile to be shared with the Board. Names of individual trustees should not appear on the summary profile. The focus should be on skills and experiences rather than individuals. This summary profile should then serve as a discussion piece for identifying gaps that you wish to be filled.
