Library Board of Directors

The Ridgefield Library is operated by the Ridgefield Library Association, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors dedicated to ensuring excellent library service to the community. The Board’s major responsibilities are to set policies and directions for the Library; manage its financial and intellectual health; and provide oversight to the administration of the Library.

From the Board Chair

As members of the Ridgefield community we are proud to serve on the Library Board. As Directors we take seriously our responsibility to uphold the mission and vision for the Library today and into the future. The Library is the anchor of downtown and the heart of our community. All are welcomed and encouraged to come explore, learn and share with others. Please feel free to contact me directly with your questions or suggestions about the Library.
