Board of Trustees
Birchard Public Library is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees. Three members are appointed by the Judge of Common Pleas and four by the County Commissioners. Traditionally the Board includes a representative for each community supporting a branch library and the remaining trustees represent Fremont and the unincorporated areas of Sandusky County.
Board meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at 4:00 PM.
History of the Library
“Sardis Birchard has conveyed real estate and other property to the value of $50,000 in trust to establish in Fremont a Library…for the free use and benefit to the people of Sandusky County.” With these words, Rutherford B. Hayes announced his uncle’s generous bequest to the City Council in July of 1873. President Hayes not only gave the money, but also supervised the founding of the library and served as chairman of the Board of Trustees until his death.
