The Library Board is a semi-autonomous body of seven persons empowered by state law and city ordinance to act as the governing body of the library. The board's specific list of legal responsibilities includes:
Determining the goals and objectives of the library in order to plan and carry out library services
Determining and adopting written policies to govern all aspects of the operation of the library
Preparing an annual budget and having exclusive control of all monies appropriated by the City Council or given to the library through gifts, bequests, contracts, grants, or awards
Employing a competent staff to administer its policies and carry out its programs
The board is also an arm of city government with members appointed by the mayor and City Council, and its principal operating funds are approved by the City Council. The board, therefore, seeks at all times to work in harmony with city policies in all areas that do not conflict with its statutory powers. The board consists of seven members, including one City Council representative and one representative from the school district. The board president is elected each year by the members.
