Board of Trustees

The DBRL Board of Trustees meets monthly at 6 p.m. on the first Thursday after the second Tuesday of the month. The Callaway County and Columbia and Boone County Library District boards meet as needed.

The DBRL Board of Trustees is made up of 14 volunteers. As authorized by state statute, the Columbia and Boone County Library District (CBCLD) has nine members – five appointed by the mayor and four appointed by the county commissioners.  The CBCLD trustees serve three-year terms with no limit.  The Callaway County Library District (CCLD) board has five members, all appointed by the county commissioners.  The CCLD trustees serve four-year terms with no limit.

Each trustee serves on his/her own district board as well as the DBRL board. The DBRL board serves as the governing body and makes all library system policy and budget decisions. The attached brochure provides more detailed information about the library trustee’s role for prospective library board applicants.
