BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Peter White Public Library’s Board of Trustees usually meets the third Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. in the Shiras Room on the upper level of the Library. Members of the Library’s governing Board are appointed by the Marquette City Commission to serve a five-year term. A member may serve for a maximum of two terms, or a total of ten (10) years, on the Board. The five-member Board elects officers from its current members.
