About Us

The Library Advisory Board makes recommendations to the City Manager, the Library Director, and the City Council regarding library policy and programs for the advancement of the Palestine Public Library.

The board is comprised of seven members. Members serve three-year terms but may continue to act after the end of their term until a successor is appointed by the City Council. A member of the board may not be appointed for more than three consecutive terms unless an exception is approved by a majority vote of the City Council.

Please contact the Library Director at 903-729-4121 for more information regarding Library Advisory Board Meetings.
