Board members of district libraries are limited to $30 in compensation per meeting, as stated in section 12 of the District Library Establishment Act: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/mcl/pdf/mcl-Act-24-of-1989.pdf

Our trustees do receive the $30 honorarium per meeting, paid out quarterly.

I hope that helps!

Our board members are elected &
they don’t get paid. We don’t even pay them mileage if they go to a library mtg at our co-op.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Board members compensation
 

Our library board director was wondering, do any libraries pay there board members? Other businesses that hold monthly meetings pays their  board. The average is about $30 per meeting.

 We are curious, because it is very hard to find board members and very hard when we do get one for them to actual participate. Maybe.... they would be more involved if they got paid. Just an idea they were batting around.
Thank you for your time and your thoughts on this matter.
