The Board of Library Trustees is primarily responsible for the establishment, acceptance and continued supervision of the public library program.

It makes and enforces by-laws, rules and regulations for the administration of the public library; approves or disapproves the appointment of the City Librarian; accepts donations into the library fund (subject to the approval of the City Council); and contracts with other governmental agencies to render or receive library services (also subject to the approval of the City Council).

The five member Board is comprised of volunteers who are appointed by the City Council. All appointees must be registered voters and residents of the City and may not hold any paid office in, or be employed by, the City of Santa Clara. For additional information contact the City Clerk's office at (408) 615-2220. The Board of Library Trustees may also be contacted by email at LibraryBoard@santaclaraca.gov.
