Board of Trustees
Mid-Continent Public Library is governed by a twelve member Board of Trustees. By Missouri Statute, each county in the library district may appoint four representatives to the Board. The Clay and Platte County Commissions and the Jackson County Executive make these appointments annually.
You can view upcoming Board Meetings along with information from previous meetings and supporting documents from MCPL's Online Board Management Site (BoardDocs). You will find mintues from previous meetings, policies, strategic plans, and a wealth of information about MCPL under the "Library" tab on that site. If you'd like to follow a Board Meeting live, you can do so on our Board Meeting Scoreboard.
Typically, the Library Board meets on the third Tuesday every month at the Administrative Headquarters building. If you would like to attend a meeting, please contact us so we can verify that the meeting has not been moved or postponed.
