Candidates must submit nominating petitions with at least 25 signatures no later than May 22, 2026 (the library can provide copies on request). The vote will be held at the Library on June 3, 2026.

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.
