Library Funding

To be effective, library boards need to be familiar with their responsibilities and power.  Effective boards lead to great library service for Iowans.  These resources may be used to:

  • orient new board members
  • provide a review for experienced board members


Permission is granted to photocopy any of these resources as long as you give credit to the State Library of Iowa.
