Library Board of Trustees


The Bent Northrop Memorial Library Trustee Board consists of five Fairfield citizens elected by the public for either two or three year terms. The board meets the third Thursday of every month at 4:30 p.m. in the community room. This is an open meeting and the public is encouraged to contact the trustees with any comments or concerns regarding BNML. To contact a trustee, click on the individual’s name to e-mail:

In order to best serve our community, the Bent Northrop Memorial Library Board of Trustees is working to create a long-range plan for library services. As part of this process, we have been engaging in a range of community engagement activities to gather feedback. These activities have consisted of individual surveys and conversations as well as more structured group discussions. The input we have received from community members is the guiding force behind the creation of the library’s strategic plan, which we will share in the first quarter of 2020. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process by speaking to us about our community or completing our library survey.  The following documents summarize what we heard.
