Board of Trustees

Birchard Public Library is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees. Three members are appointed by the Judge of Common Pleas and four by the County Commissioners. Traditionally the Board includes a representative for each community supporting a branch library and the remaining trustees represent Fremont and the unincorporated areas of Sandusky County.

Board meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 4:00 PM.
