BOISE PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Boise Public Library was established shortly after the founding of the city when, in 1895, the women of the Columbian Club opened a subscription library and free reading room in City Hall... Boise Public Library is a part of the City of Boise and is funded primarily through local property taxes. The Board of Trustees sets policy for operations. The Friends of the Boise Public Library and the Boise Public Library Foundation provide additional financial support. Approximately 130 employees and dozens of volunteers work together to provide library services to the community... Our mission is to provide access and opportunity for everyone by connecting people to ideas, information and community.
