Board of Trustees
Meetings
The Billings Public Library Board of Trustees meets monthly throughout the year, with a planning retreat taking the place of the January meeting each year. The monthly meetings usually take place on the second Thursday of each month in Billings Public Library's second floor Yellowstone Board Room. Billings Public Library operates as a joint city-county library, providing services to the residents of the City of Billings and Yellowstone County under an Interlocal Agreement. An amendment to the interlocal agreement was approved on April 23, 2013 changing the name of the library to the "Billings Public Library."
