What does the Library Board do?

The Library Board exists to advise the City Commission on library policies and practices, represent interests of library users, foster public knowledge and support of the library, and assist in the long-term development of services and facilities.

What is a board member's commitment?

Board members are appointed by the Mayor to four-year terms (for this recruitment, two years only)
The seven-member board is comprised of

four residents of Oregon City
two residents of postal zip codes 97045 or 97004 who reside outside of the city limits (one of these is the position we are currently recruiting)
one at-large member in either of the above categories

Terms are staggered and expire at the end of a calendar year
Board meetings are once a month on the second Wednesday of each month, 5:00 PM at City Hall in the Commission Chambers at 625 Center St. unless notice is posted otherwise.
