Centre County Library & Historical Museum Board of Trustees

Centre County Library and Historical Museum is governed by a 9-member Board of Trustees. Two members of the Board are appointed by the Centre County Board of Commissioners and two are appointed by Bellefonte Borough. Centre Hall Borough, Philipsburg Borough and Spring Township each appoint one member, and two members are “member-at-large” positions elected by the Board of Trustees. All members of the Board serve a 3-year term and can be reappointed for a second 3-year term before needing to cycle off.
