There are five appointed Trustees who serve without compensation for four-year terms (with the exception of the Library Director). Their charge is to oversee investments and allocate funds to benefit the Groton Public Library.
The Endowment Trust, a 501c 3 tax-exempt organization, was created in 1996 funded through a town-wide campaign. From 1996 to 1998 nearly 600 Groton households contributed. Fundraising is ongoing and you are invited to participate for an even better library in the future.
