Qualifications for Municipal Library Trustees

Submission Date
Question

I have several questions related to the legality and ethics of individuals serving as municipal library trustees. Who can serve, and who can or should not? Does an individual have to reside within the municipality in order to serve as a municipal library trustee? Can members of the municipal council or legislature simultaneously serve as municipal library trustees? How about employees of the municipality (as opposed to library employees)? Are there prohibitions or guidelines concerning family members of municipal officers or employees?
