Board Minutes

Municipal libraries and their governing boards are established and operate under the Idaho Code, Chapter 26, Sections 33-2602 to 33-2608. The Boise City Code, Chapter 2 Section 4, specifically outlines the ordinances governing the Boise Public Library. All members of the Board are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Council.

Ordinance number 5942, passed by Boise City Council September 28, 1999, empowers the Mayor to appoint a youth member to Boise City Department Boards. The youth member appointee to the Library Board is a nonvoting member.

By law, Library Boards in Idaho are responsible rather than advisory boards. The Library Board sets policy for the operation of the public library.

The Library Board is composed of five Boise City residents representing a cross section of community interests. Each voting Board appointment is for five years with a maximum service limit by an individual of ten consecutive years. A Board President and Vice President are elected annually from and by the Board and serve one-year terms in office.

The regular monthly meeting of the Boise Public Library Board of Trustees is normally scheduled on the first Wednesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. in the Marion Bingham Room on the 3rd floor of the library.
