Transparency builds trust—
and trust helps communities grow.

We encourage local organizations to make governance, financial stewardship, and operations more visible and accessible.

The Claud H. Gilmer Memorial Library Board holds quarterly board meetings, normally on the second Wednesday of the month at 5:15 PM at the Gilmer Library.

The library board plays an integral role in our school and community combined library. The board includes 3 RISD appointees, 2 Gilmer Foundation appointees, and 1 Rocksprings Woman’s Club appointee. Together with library staff, they help balance our combined resource library’s school and community responsibilities and oversee public library spending. The RISD finance office oversees all school funding and spending.

Open doors.
Shared accountability.
Community progress.

Great family day at the Edwards County Fairgrounds for National Night Out 2026!

Thanks Alektra Hernandez and Aguilera for planning another successful community event that brings people and resources together! Thank you Brandin Torres for his time behind the grill ensuring that we all got fed. Thank you to Blake Satterfield and Felix Ruiz Jr. for spending time in the cook shack helping Brandin prepare the serving line to feed our community.

Thank you to ALL first responders, resources, and services that came out to spend time with our community. Time spent “boots on the ground” with those you serve is time well-spent! We truly appreciate you taking the time out of your weekend to be part of this community event.

The Claud H. Gilmer Memorial Library was so grateful for the opportunity to be a small part of this community event. Thanks for the invitation!
