DISCUSSION

The purpose of the Shasta Public Libraries Citizens Advisory Committee (Library Advisory Committee) is to advice the Redding Municipal Library Board of Trustees (City of Redding City Council) on matters pertaining to the administration, operation, development, improvement, and maintenance of the Shasta Public Library System.

 

The Library Advisory Committee consists of five members.  Two members shall be appointed by the Shasta County Board of Supervisors, two members shall be appointed by the Redding City Council, and one member shall be appointed by the Shasta Library Foundation or its successor organization.  Library Advisory Committee members serve staggered four-year terms, which begin on December 1 and end on November 30.
