Governance
The Bement Public Library is governed by a Board of Trustees
The Board of Library Trustees of the Bement Public Library is charged with the responsibility of the governance of the library. The Board hires a skilled Library Director who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the library. The Board meets at least once per month. These meetings are open to the public and noticed in advance.
Members of the board include:
Mary Postlewait, President
Jerry Watzlawick, Vice President
Ken Wright, Treasurer
Connie Kinsella, Secretary
Additionally, we are members of IHLS
Illinois Heartland Library System (IHLS) is a quasi-governmental, not-for-profit organization that supports the libraries of southern and parts of central Illinois. As one of the three library systems in Illinois--and one of two multi-type library systems--IHLS is the library's support partner, serving libraries of all types and the librarians, paralibrarians, and trustees that work for them.
