Strategic Plan

Library Board of Directors

The Newburyport Public Library is governed by a twelve member Board of Directors. The Mayor is the Chairman ex–officio, the President of the City Council is an ex-officio member, there are three trustees of the Building Fund who are self–perpetuating members of the Board, seven board members are appointed for seven year terms, and the Head Librarian is Secretary to the Board.

Archival Center Now Open

We are excited to share the good news—the Archival Center is again available for public access. All Archival services are available on a walk-in or appointment basis.

Please pardon our dust as we await a few finishing touches over the next few weeks with some new furniture.
