Board of Directors

The Board of Directors provides fiduciary oversight for the organization and is actively engaged in committees, fundraising, and community events.  

We’re looking to expand our Board of Directors with champions of Ramsey County Library. If you have a passion for libraries and have time and skills to share with our growing nonprofit organization, the Ramsey County Library Friends Board might be the place for you!

Board members help support Ramsey County Library’s seven-library system in making information, books, music, and programs available to the public. You’ll get to positively impact local communities by advocating and fundraising for RCL with the goal of enriching the lives of Library users, promoting literacy and education, and fostering community.

The Board meets quarterly in January, April, July and November on the second or third Monday of the month at 6:30 pm. Board members are also expected to be active on at least one volunteer committee.
