GOVERNING STRUCTURE
The Williamsburg Regional Library operates under a contract first signed by the City of Williamsburg and James City County on May 26, 1977, in accordance with Title 42.1, Chapter 2 of the code of Virginia of 1950, as amended. That contract was amended on February 16, 1993, January 14, 1999, June 14, 2001, and July 1, 2006.
Under the contract, the Williamsburg Regional Library extends its full services to "as many citizens of both the City and the County as possible."
WRL is governed by a nine-member board of trustees, four appointed by the City of Williamsburg and five appointed by James City County.
As a legally established regional library, WRL receives aid to public libraries from the Commonwealth of Virginia in return for providing free services to residents of its contractual service area, Williamsburg and James City County. The WRL Board of Trustees also extends free library service to all residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
