Board Vacancy

If you are looking for a new way to serve your community, this may be the perfect opportunity! The Waterford Public Library is looking to fill two seats on the Library Board this upcoming year. Candidates must reside within the Waterford-Halfmoon Union Free School District, and be available to fill a 5-year term (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2031). While the window to get on the official ballot for the 2027 budget vote has passed, interested candidates may still be appointed provisionally by the board. For more information, please contact Chloe Whittaker: (518) 237-0891 or watpublibrary@gmail.com.


Library board members participate on the board to protect and advance the interests of the broader community by effectively governing the operations and promoting the development of the Waterford Public Library. The board of trustees establishes policies and long-term goals for the library, oversees the general operation of the library, initiates and oversees the budget process, promotes and advocates for the library in the community, and hires and evaluates the library director. Must be available to attend our monthly meetings (2nd Tuesdays, 6:00 pm).
