Who's Who in Public Library Governance?
Maine Library Commission
The Library Commission, a 17-member board appointed by the Governor, is broadly representative of the state's library community. The Commission establishes the policies and operations of the State Library, gives advice and makes recommendations on the expenditure of state and federal funds, and establishes guidelines and policies for statewide library programs. Composition of the Maine Library Commission is defined in 27 MRS §111.
Maine Library Association
The Maine Library Association (MLA) was founded in 1891 to promote library interests in the state. They focus on building relationships, supporting education, and advocating for libraries and library workers.
