Every year, RAILS holds elections for its 15-seat board of directors. The members of the RAILS Board work together to shape the future of the library system and the services we provide to our members.

To help members navigate the voting process this year, we've created a comprehensive RAILS Board Election Guide. In this guide, members can find information about board seats, the nomination process, and, most importantly, how to figure out who should cast your library's ballot.

The nomination period for the RAILS Board of Directors closes this Friday, April 18, 2025. Voting will open on Wednesday, May 7, 2025. 

As a public body, RAILS relies on the engagement of staff and trustees from our member libraries to help drive our work forward. We hope you make your voice heard and participate in the 2025 RAILS Board Election.
