Board Meetings
MCPL's Online Board Management Site (BoardDocs) can provide you with most of the information regarding past and upcoming board meetings including:
- Notices of upcoming board meeting information (Notices are also posted on a bulletin board in the lobby of the Administrative Headquarters building)
- Minutes of previous meetings (Typically the most current minutes are posted, pending adoption and approval. That step usually occurs at the next meeting of the Board.)
- Policies, strategic plans, supporting documents, and a wealth of information about MCPL (Under the "Library" tab)
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. You can also follow a Board Meeting live on our Board Meeting Scoreboard. As a political subdivision of the state of Missouri, Mid-Continent Public Library adheres to the Missouri "Sunshine Law."
The current Board Policy was updated in January 2019.
About MCPL's 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.
If you have questions, comments, or concerns, you may contact the Board Secretary at 816-521-7213 or send written correspondence to:
