Mission
As established in the Lynnfield Town Charter, the Library Trustees are “responsible for the administration and operation of the Town Library, including staffing of professional library staff, acquisitions of books, journals, periodicals, and other materials relating to the library functions, and the promulgation of library rules and regulations.”
The Board of Trustees hires the Library Director, works with the Director to submit the annual budget to the Lynnfield Finance Committee, and expends money appropriated for the Library. The Trustees also collaborate with the Friends of the Lynnfield Library and the Lynnfield Public Library Foundation to enhance the services offered by the Library.
