Library Trustee Board

The Chouteau County Library Board of Trustees is the policy-making body of the Chouteau County library system, including branch libraries in Fort Benton, Big Sandy, Geraldine, and Highwood. The board controls the expenditures of the public library fund, the construction or leasing of the library building, and the operations and care of the library. The library director is hired by and serves at the pleasure of the board.
