Do you know the background to how the City library is operated? The City of Lake Andes is the governing body under which the library operates. A budget for supplies, books, computers, in-service for employees, upkeep of the building, maintenance of the building, and salaries, is provided by tax dollars collected for the City. The library has a Board of Directors made up of five members of the City of Lake Andes, the Library Director, and a City Council person. This board meets quarterly at the library. The board members are kept abreast of the activities at the library, they approve all hires and are a critical part of the funding for summer activities through fundraising completed by board members. All library board meetings are open to the public. Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the months of March, June, September and December.
