Board of Directors
La Crosse Public Library is governed by a board of directors according to the powers and duties outlined in Wisconsin State Statutes, chapter 43.58. Board members are recommended for approval by the Mayor and confirmed by the city Common Council. By law, one board member must be either the school district administrator or his/her designee. There must also be a Common Council representative. Because of the size of our city, the Library Board may have up to two members who live outside of the municipality; all other members must reside in the city. The Library Board meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 5 p.m.
Updated By-laws of the Board of Trustees can be found here.
The current Library Board members are:
- Sue Anglehart, President
- Kathy Ivey, Vice-President
- Araysa Simpson, Secretary
- Katie Bittner
- Ross Seymour
- Aaron Engel (School District of La Crosse Designee)
- Jessica Thill
