Boise Public Library Board Meeting

The Boise Public Library Board held a meeting on August 30, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related updates were discussed. The Boise City Council approved a $170,000 interim budget allocation to fund the installation of sound dampening materials at two library locations, with Public Works overseeing the project. Additionally, the board discussed the removal of a low-use book drop at City Hall West due to changes in the courier service routes. The board also reviewed and approved updates to library policies, including sunsetting the corporate library card type by October 1, 2026, to better align with digital resource licensing and reduce manual processing. Fee adjustments for non-resident library cards were also noted, reflecting increases to maintain parity with local taxpayer support. The board prepared for upcoming events such as the Boise Comic Arts Festival and planned for the FY27 meeting schedule and bylaw reviews.
