Trustee Information

The Library of Michigan is pleased to furnish public library trustees with resources to help support them in their work. While articles for trustees are intended to be as accurate as possible, the information here may be superseded. Please contact your attorney with specific legal questions. 

For additional resources available to the Michigan library community, including Trustees, Friends and staff, please visit the United for Libraries Michigan membership web site.

The Library of Michigan provides a statewide membership in United for Libraries, a division of the American Library Association. Please contact Statewide Services for information on how to access the resource. Online training, webinars, toolkits and other support resources are available through the membership.
