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 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.
