2024-2025 BOARD OF DIRECTORS
While Garden Home Community Library is a member of and receives operational funds from Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS), it is locally governed by an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, Garden Home Community Library Association (GHCLA). GHCLA is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public benefit corporation with the purpose of operating and supporting the mission of Garden Home Community Library. Beginning in July 2025, GHCLA will assume responsibility for operations of West Slope Community Library as well, with both libraries remaining members of WCCLS. To read more about this transition, please visit the Growing Community webpage.
The GHCLA Board carries full legal responsibility for the nonprofit corporation, serves as the legislative body, and consists of volunteers from the community who are elected by the Association to three-year terms. If you are interested in becoming a Board Member, please apply here.
The GHCLA Board meets on the third Monday of the month at 6:45 pm. Meetings are open to the public and are held in-person at the library, with online access available upon request. We love to have visitors! If you would like to join a meeting online, please email the Library Director for a link. NOTE: January and February meetings are held on the fourth Monday due to holidays, and the Board does not meet in August or December.
