Governance
The five-member Board of Trustees governs the Del Norte County Library District. Board members
are elected to four-year terms under the terms of the California Election Code. Although members are
elected at-large, geographic representation within the county-wide service area is welcomed. During
general elections, candidacy may be declared with the Del Norte County Registrar of Voters.
The DNCL Board of Trustees sets policy for library services throughout the District guided by the
DNCL Mission Statement. The Board also hires and holds accountable the DNCL Library Director.
Russell Long has been the Library Director since 2007. Feel free to contact him directly at
707-464-9793 or russell.long@delnortecountylibrary.org
Public Meeting Policy
Enabling legislation provides for election, powers and duties of trustees, reporting on revenues and
disbursements and other matters (California Education Code Sec.19400 et.seq.). The Library Board
follows the rules of the Brown Act, California Statement of Economic Interests Disclosure, and the
State of California Special Districts Financial Reports including an annual audit.
