Trustees

The Library Board of Trustees sets policy for the County Library and the Member Libraries. Members of the Shenandoah County Library Board are appointed by the Shenandoah County Board of Supervisors. Members may not serve more than two consecutive terms. There are between nine and thirteen trustees, including a representative from the Board of Supervisors. All trustees are at-large members representing the citizens of Shenandoah County. Regular Library Board meetings are held quarterly on the first Thursday in August, November, February, and May, at the County Library. Other meetings may be called.

The Library Board adopted a new Five Year Plan for the Library System at their quarterly meeting on August 3, 2023.

The mission of the Shenandoah County Library System is to develop and maintain an inviting environment that encourages lifelong habits of learning. We provide friendly, professional services and well-trained staff and volunteers to meet the needs of county residents and community organizations for education, information, professional development, socializing, community-building and recreation. We are committed to providing organized, up-to-date materials and collections, including reliable access to the internet. We strive in particular to identify, prioritize, and meet the needs of county residents who are not presently benefitting from our services.
