Library Board

Library Board

The Antlers Public Library shall be governed by a board of five members appointed by the mayor with the approval of the city council. Appointments to the library board shall be made on the basis of ability, understanding of the total responsibilities and objectives of public libraries, and an active interest in the attainment of these goals. All library board members shall serve thereon without compensation. (Antlers City Ordinance Chapter 17 Article 3 Section 3)

Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month unless otherwise noted on the agenda. They are open to any who wishes to attend. The meeting is held in the library community room unless it is booked for an event. In that case, the meeting will be moved to the City Hall Council. 

If you would like to address the Library Board, please contact the library at least 5 business days prior to the meeting to be added to the agenda.
