Trustees

Taibach Community Library is a Registered Charity in England & Wales under registered charity number 1158698. The Charity was set up in 2014, after local authority cuts threatened the closure of the library.

The Charity is managed by a Board of Trustees, who share responsibility for the governance of the Charity, and directing how it is managed and run.

The Board meet regularly to discuss, review and decide our strategies and policies and receive updates from the library co-ordinator on finances, events and library usage.
