The Board is composed of five members representing the community. Members must reside within Boone County and be committed to the provision of library services within the county. The nominees are reviewed by the library and the library folks in Frankfort.  The library then offers up an approved list of nominees to the Boone County Judge-Executive for approval by the Boone County Fiscal Court. Each member may serve two four-year terms.  The proposed legislation by Senator John Schickel, SB49, will change this process and allow the Couny Judge to offer up their own candidates to the Fisical Court for approval.
