Friends Board Member Application
The Friends of the Tyler Public Library is an entirely volunteer-run working board. There are no paid positions, but we are responsible for running a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We are primarily a fundraising organization to provide funding for programs, services, and improvements to the library. Additionally, we celebrate and promote the library and its work. In addition to regular monthly meetings, additional work outside of meetings is required. The Friends is a working board, not a governing board, with monthly meetings and a few fundraisers during the year. Board members take on elected or committee roles with additional duties between meetings. Areas of need are highlighted in the application. Share your details and qualifications to be considered for a board role. Thank you!
