Governance

The five-member Board of Trustees governs the Del Norte County Library District.  Board members are elected to four-year terms under the terms of the California Election Code. Although members are elected at-large, geographic representation within the county-wide service area is welcomed.  During general elections, candidacy may be declared with the Del Norte County Registrar of Voters.

The DNCL Board of Trustees sets policy for library services throughout the District guided by the DNCL Mission Statement.  The Board also hires and holds accountable the DNCL Library Manager.  Beth Austen is the library manager.  Feel free to contact her directly at 707-464-9793.

Public Meeting Policy

Enabling legislation provides for election, powers and duties of trustees, reporting on revenues and disbursements and other matters (California Education Code Sec.19400 et.seq.).  The Library Board follows the rules of the Brown Act, California Statement of Economic Interests Disclosure, and the State of California Special Districts Financial Reports including an annual audit.
