The Johnson County Board of Supervisors is accepting applications for one vacancy on the Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees for residents living in unincorporated Johnson County. The vacancy begins upon appointment and expires June 30, 2029.

While all Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees members are appointed by the City of Iowa City Mayor, the appointment of a resident of unincorporated Johnson County is subject to the recommendation of the Board of Supervisors; thus, applications are submitted to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors Office.

The Iowa City Public Library Board of Trustees is a semi-autonomous nine-member board empowered by state law and city ordinance to set policy, determine goals and objectives, direct the use of monies appropriated or gifted to the library, and to employ staff.  The Board meets at 5 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month (with the exception of November and December when the Board meets on the third Thursday).

More information about the Library Board can be found at www.icpl.org/about/board.

Application forms are available on the Committee/Board Openings webpage of the Johnson County website at www.johnsoncountyiowa.gov/vacancies and in the office of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, second floor of the Johnson County Administration Building, 913 South Dubuque Street, Iowa City.

Completed applications must be returned to the Board Office by 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 20, 2023.
