Description of Organization and Function
The Maitland Public Library, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, has served the residents for over 120 years, in the current location since 1907. In 1973, a 99-year lease was signed with the City of Maitland. The City agreed to provide adequate funding for the library, taking ownership of the property with the Board of Trustees providing management of operations.
Four corporate officers and a Board of Trustees, all of whom are Maitland residents and volunteers, selected for their interest and dedication to the Library’s vision and mission, oversee the operations. Board meetings are held monthly (except July & August) to direct library activities, provide financial oversight, and guide operations in developing and providing effective services for the residents of Maitland. Day-to-day operations are delegated to the Director of Library Services, hired by the Board.
An annual meeting of the membership of the corporation is held in September. All adult resident Library cardholders in good standing have membership in the corporation and are encouraged to attend.
Public Records
Requests for public records may be made to the Director at the Library or by e-mail.
Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing.
The State of Florida requires that non-profits who receive state funding post a report of compensation paid to members of the Board and Officers, especially noting amounts paid from State funds. The Officers and Board of Trustees of the Maitland Public Library are volunteers and are not compensated for their time. The required forms are posted below.
