Board of Trustees

Bedford Hills Free Library is overseen by a Board of Trustees who serve for staggered five-year terms. Officers and new board members are elected at the annual meeting in January. We are currently seeking nominations for new leaders to assume available Board seats. If you or someone you know is interested, please review the Board Prospectus, for expectations and next steps.
