Board of Trustees
Omaha Public Library is governed by a nine-member board of trustees. Board members are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council to serve a three-year term. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 5 PM at different library locations unless otherwise noted.
