The Woodstock Public Library District was created by Chapter 499 of the Laws of 1989 (New York State). The district is governed by a publicly elected eleven-member board of trustees. The term of office is five years. Candidates run at large.
The annual election to fill board vacancies is held on the first Thursday in October. Prospective board members must petition for candidacy. Eligibility to vote in the Library District election is based on eligibility to vote in the Woodstock town elections. When a board member vacates their position mid-term, interested community members can apply to join the board. See the policy and application on filling a board vacancy
