The seven-member Howell Carnegie District Library Board of Trustees is responsible for policies, strategic planning, annual budget approval, overseeing finances, director hiring, and understanding district library law. The Howell City Council or the Howell Public Schools Board of Education appoints trustees for staggered four-year terms. A library trustee has no obligation to the appointing body and is expected to act in good faith and put the interests of the library first.
Board meetings are held every second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the library’s Meabon Room unless otherwise noted.
Two openings are for terms beginning July 1, 2025. Appointments are made in May or June 2025.
If you are interested in serving on the Howell Carnegie Library Board of Trustees and live in the City of Howell, please contact the Clerk’s Office. If you live outside the City of Howell but within the boundaries of Howell Public School District, send a letter of interest to Courtney A. Tarara, President, Board of Education: tararac@
