Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees generally holds its regular meeting on the third Tuesday of each month at 4:30 PM at the River Forest Public Library, 735 Lathrop Avenue, River Forest, IL.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Board of Trustees will conduct their regular meetings via Zoom while adhering to the requirements of IL Senate Bill 2135.

The public is always invited to attend these meetings. Check the calendar for dates. Board members are elected for four-year terms in consolidated April elections.

The River Forest Library Board of Trustees will have two, 4 year terms on the ballot for the April 2021 election. We invite interested residents to attend a Library Board meeting to learn more about the Trustee role. Candidates who are seeking information about filing dates, general requirements for filing, and specific requirements may consult the State of Illinois 2021 Candidates Guide. Please contact Joanna Bertucci, Co-Interim Library Director at 708-366-5205 ext. 310 if you have any additional questions.
