The Library's Board of Trustees is comprised of five appointed volunteers, who may each serve two consecutive five-year terms. Two trustees are appointed by the City Commission, two by the County Commissioners, and one at-large trustee is appointed by the other four trustees. The Board oversees library operations via the powers granted to it by Montana law. The Board's by-laws are here.
Board meetings are usually on the third Wednesday of each month at 4:00 pm, at the Library. Dates and times are available at the calendar.
