List of Trustees
Please update your list of trustee board members during the annual state aid certification process and at other times as the membership changes.
Helpful hints:
- We recommend that you printout and refer to the instruction sheets applicable to your type of library. See the Guide to Forms table below to determine the form you will need.
- If you have questions or experience difficulty using this site, please call 1-800-325-0131.
Using the Adobe PDF fillable forms for List of Trustees
- Choose the correct form, depending on the type of library.
- Printout the blank form and fill it in offline,
OR
- Complete the List of Trustees using the online Adobe fillable forms.
- Print out the completed form.
- Mail the form to the address on the Application form.
PLEASE NOTE!
The PDF documents are set up as fillable forms to allow users to complete them electronically. However, because these forms require original signatures, you must return them by mail rather than by e-mail.
Also, be aware that if you are using Adobe Acrobat Reader software, i.e., the version that can be downloaded at no cost from the Adobe Acrobat Web site, you will not be able to type answers on a form and then save the form with your additions. The document will revert to a blank version when closed. Unless you have the higher grade of Adobe software, which lets you create forms and save forms with the additions typed in, you will need to fill out the form completely and print a hard copy before you close the document.
To fill out the form electronically, move your mouse to the area that needs to be filled in and click the left button on your mouse. You can move from box to box and line to line by using the tab key or pointing your mouse each time to the box you want to complete next. Unfortunately, using the enter key does not work well for moving around PDF forms. If a box does not allow you to click to type, note that it could be a box where a signature, rather than type, is required.
