Library Board of Trustees

The Library Board of Trustees is a volunteer advisory board appointed by the City of Manitou Springs. The Board of Trustees meets at the library at 7:00 p.m on the second Thursday of the month. All meetings are open to the public, so please feel free to join us. The Library Board is currently looking for two interested individuals who are looking to serve their community.
