Seven elected officals sit on the Library Board of Trustees. Their responsibilities include establishing policy and overseeing finances for a growing district library to meet the needs of a diverse community. The Fremont Public Library District consists of parts of nine villages, encompassing all of Fremont Township and part of western Libertyville Township.
After the April 1 Consolidated Election, there are two newly-elected trustees, Amy Clapp and Catherine Corbett. Trustee Laurie MacKay was re-elected for four more years. The new trustees will be sworn in prior to the June 19th board meeting. Former Board President Jodie Nalezny and Treasurer Jay Kasten were not re-elected; we thank them for their dedication and service during their time on the board. Their last meeting will be on May 14, 2025.
