Board Minutes
As a first step, prospective trustees are invited to attend a board meeting to meet the board and get a sense of how business is conducted. Each trustee is responsible for monitoring his/her own CDL official email account. There is also the opportunity to serve on standing committees. Trustees with a background in business, finance, human resources, and education can add great value to the organization. A deep commitment to the vital work that public libraries do every day in Cass County is a necessary qualification. Anyone with questions is encouraged to reach out to Library Director Barbara Gordon at bgordon@cass.lib.mi.us or (866) 808-7323 ext. 101.
