<h3>Board of Trustees</h3>
The Library is governed by its Board of Trustees — seven to nine residents of Bronxville Village, each appointed by the Mayor and the Village Trustees to a three-year unsalaried term of service.
The Board meets at the Library from 7-9pm on the second Thursday of the month (except August) to review with the Library Director the Library’s status; to determine, codify, and update policies; and to plan for the Library’s future. These meetings are open to the public; a schedule of meeting dates is opposite. Trustees also serve on one or more standing committees.
The Board works in close communication with the Friends of the Bronxville Public Library and is advised by a Village Trustee who serves as Library Liaison.

<h3>History</h3>
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-116" alt="Postcard" src="http://stripeandfield.com/bpl/wp-content/uploads/Postcard.jpg" width="275" height="200" />Before the Bronxville Public Library was officially chartered in June 1906, Villagers had enjoyed the use of a lending library for thirty-one years. The embryonic library was housed in a small room that had been added in 1875 to the Bronxville Model School in the center of town. A group of residents petitioned the school board to open the reading room one or two nights a week and the men of the village volunteered their service once a month. A box was placed in the railroad station for book donations. Over the years about 2,500 volumes were collected.

In 1906 the contents of the old lending library were moved into two rooms in the newly erected Village Hall building at the corner of Pondfield Road and Kraft Avenue. The imposing classical structure, designed by William W. Bates and W. W. Kent, housed not only the Village offices and library, but also the police station, post office, firehouse, a large auditorium, gymnasium, a bowling alley, and swimming pool. <em>read more</em>[/two_third][one_third_last]

<h3>Room Rentals</h3>
The Bronxville Library encourages the use of its public spaces for informational, educational, cultural, recreational and civic meetings and events as well as exhibitions of art work which is original, competent and above the amateur level.

An organization applying for room use must have a Village of Bronxville business address. An individual sponsoring an organization based outside of Bronxville must have a Bronxville Library Card and the event must be open to the public. Regularly scheduled meetings are permissible but may be subject to scheduling limits and additional fees; at the discretion of the Library Board.[/one_third][one_third padding="0 15px 0 0"]
