Board

The Algona Public Library is governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees. Resident trustees are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Algona City Council. Nonresident trustees are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Kossuth County Board of Supervisors. Trustees serve a six-year term.

The Library Board of Trustees is responsible for establishing Library policy, authorizing services provided by the Library, establishing the Library budget, and hiring the Library Director. Library Board members do not receive compensation for their services.

The Algona Public Library Board of Trustees meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 4:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend board meetings. Agendas are posted 24 hours prior to the meeting.
