Annually at its June meeting, the County Board of Trustees is to appoint a Community Advisory Board for each branch of the Pocahontas County Free Libraries. The Advisory Board members will represent different segments of the community and their term of office will be one year. A person can be reappointed for more than one term.

The purpose of the Advisory Boards is to act as a committee of the County Board of Trustees to:

1. Encourage support for the library within the community at large including recruitment of volunteers;

2. Widen and increase use of library facilities and services as established within the policies of the County Board of Trustees;

3. Work with the Branch Librarian to assure the responsiveness of the library to local needs;

4. Advise librarians and the County Board of Trustees on problems and opportunities facing the library, including services, maintenance, and facility needs.

For further information on the Community Advisory Board responsibilities, see section V in the County Board policy.
