Board of Trustees

About the Board

The Cape Girardeau Public Library Board of Trustees consists of nine community members who are appointed by the Mayor for three-year terms.  Each Trustee will serve a three-year term unless they are filling an unexpired term (UT). Members are eligible to be appointed for a total of three consecutive full terms. Anyone interested in serving on the Library's Board of Trustees may fill out an application at City Hall.

The Board of Trustees is a policymaking board and is fiscally responsible for how the library's funds are spent. With a few exceptions, the Board meets every month on the 4th Thursday at 7:00 am in the Penzel Conference Room at the library. The public is invited to attend all meetings of the Board of Trustees except those designated as executive (closed) sessions. Members of the public are welcome to address comments to the Board as set forth here.
