- Keeping itself informed of library needs and serving as a forum for discussion, as well as to encourage maximum use of library programs and services.
- Recommending programs and policies for the efficient operation of the Library and to advocate for the Library.
The Library Advisory Board consists of five (5) regular members and two (2) alternate members. Board members are required to be registered voters, reside in the City of Riviera Beach, serve a one-year term, and attend monthly meetings that are held the second Tuesday of each month. Board members may be reappointed after their first year of service, for as long as they wish to serve, per Council’s approval.
