The Blackfoot Public Library has a Library Board that governs the Library. There are 5 members who serve on the City Board and 5 members who serve on the District Board.
City Board members are appointed by the Mayor and approved by City Council; they serve a 5-year term. These Board members must live within the City limits.
District Board members are elected and serve a 6-year term. Elections take place in May of odd-numbered years. These Board members must live within the Blackfoot Rural Library District. All Board Members serve without pay.
