Get Informed for the November Elections!
The Friends of the Minneapolis Public Library are hosting 10 Library
Board Candidate Forums at our community libraries this summer. All
citizens concerned about the state of our libraries are encouraged to
attend.
The Minneapolis Public Library is governed by an 8-member Board of
Trustees. Six trustees are elected in citywide elections and serve
four-year terms. The two additional trustees are appointed by the
Mayor and City Council.
The Library Trustees set library policy and have discretion over the
use of funds.
All forums are free and open to the public. Refreshments provided by
candidates.
For more information contact The Friends at 612-630-6174 or
