The members of the board are residents of Des Plaines appointed by the Mayor for 3 year terms. The board is responsible for setting policies and procedures to provide for the library's financial stability and the community's service needs. The board has adopted
Vision and Belief Statements to aid in these decisions.
The minutes of all board meetings are available at the library or online.
