Welcome to Harney County Library
Harney County Library Advisory Board

As advocates for the library, the responsibilities of the Advisory Board are as follows:
  • Propose rules and policies for the governance of the library for approval to the County Court.
  • Prepare and submit an annual budget request to the Harney County Budget Board.
  • Provide community input and advice to the Librarian regarding operation of the library.

The Advisory Board meets in the library the last Tuesday of the month at 4:30 pm. The public is invited and encouraged to attend these meetings.

The Board is composed of seven members appointed by the County Court to a four-year term with a limit of two consecutive terms. Our current Board members:
  • Barbara Skillman - Chair
  • Karen Hendrickson - Secretary
  • Ramona Revak
  • Doug Furr
  • Kate Cunningham
  • Arthel Kline
  • Patty Dorroh

The Harney County Library Advisory Board completed a 2021-2026 Strategic Plan to guide the direction of library services and programs into the next five years.  This plan was compiled using the results of a community survey.  Click below to read a copy of the Strategic Plan.
