The Board is the governing body of the South Hadley Public Library.
As such, the Board has legal responsibility for the custody and management
of the library and its property; for the appointment of its Director;
for securing adequate funding; and for determining library policies.
The leadership and direction provided by the Board have a major impact
on the effectiveness of library services to the community. To ensure
this effectiveness, the Board must operate from a perspective that
is objective and broad. It must refrain from involving itself in the
internal operations of the library.
