The Library Board sets policy for the operation of the public library. By law, Library Boards in Idaho are responsible, rather than advisory.

The Library Board is composed of five Mountain Home City residents representing a cross section of community interests. Each voting Board appointment is for five years. A Board Chair and Vice-Chair, along with other officers deemed necessary, are elected annually from and by the Board. The Library Director, at the direction of the Board, may act as Clerk for the Board.

Meeting Schedule:

The Library Board of Trustees of the Mountain Home Public Library holds regular meetings in the Library Conference Room on the first Thursday of each month at 5:00 p.m.

The Library and Library Conference Room are accessible for persons with disabilities. Any person needing special accommodations to participate in the meeting should contact the Library Director, Shasta Hochstrasser, at least 24 hours prior to the meeting.
