The Crown Street Library Trustees Board was established in 2020 to provide formal recognition to the wider community's involvement with the library, which was a significant philanthropic gift to Darlington. The Board's meetings are scheduled around the library's opening date of 23 October. Its members include the Leader of Darlington Borough Council and three Independent Trustees. The Board aims to acknowledge the library's contribution to the education, advancement, and well-being of Darlington's residents.
