It is committed to preserving and extending its role as a premier historic and community asset. The Library Board determines the library services to be offered, appoints a library director, and seeks funds through the Council's budget process for the Library's operations. The library has standing committees that consist of Finance and Investments, Buildings and Grounds, Personnel, Events, Policies, Fund Raising, and Planning.
