The Board and Leadership of the Library

James V. Brown’s wishes included how the library should be governed, a plan that is still followed to this day. Management of the library would be under the control of a nine-member board of trustees consisting of: the Mayor of Williamsport; the Rector of Christ Episcopal Church (where Brown was a member), the Superintendent of Williamsport Schools, a representative of Williamsport City Council, and five other representatives of Williamsport or nearby vicinity.

The Rev. Kyle D. Murphy
Representative of Christ Episcopal Church, Secretary

Dr. Timothy S. Bowers
Superintendent of Williamsport Area School District

The Honorable Derek Slaughter
Williamsport Mayor

Kristin R. Caringi
Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operations Officer
