Opportunity to join the Board of Trustees
2024 intake
We are seeking up to three enthusiastic and committed people to join The London Library Board as trustees.
Trusteeship involves helping with the Library’s overall governance, monitoring our strategic goals and supporting the Executive team. Our trustees are volunteers but the role can be highly rewarding in terms of personal development and the enjoyment that comes with working collectively in the best interests of the Library.
The Board meets five times a year and trustees will usually also sit on two committees, covering areas such as buildings, collections, fundraising, finance, membership and marketing. This year, we are particularly interested in hearing from candidates who have experience of fundraising (especially in connection with major building projects) or finance. However, we also look forward to hearing how members might feel they could use their own particular skills and experiences to benefit the Library and its governance in other ways.
We are keen to ensure a diverse and inclusive Board and so encourage applications from all backgrounds. Please note that trustees must also be members of the Library throughout their term in post.

The closing date for applications is Monday 6 May 2024 (at midnight).

Trustee Placements for Young Members
We are also seeking two young members to become trustee placements on the Board. This is a two-year role, which is open to members aged between 18 and 30 and designed to encourage participation by younger members at Board level. We value the insights and contributions of younger members very highly and we aim to ensure that our trustee placements receive a positive experience of charity governance.
