All meetings are open to the public. The board is tasked with establishing library policies and plans, alongside hiring the library director and other delegates to ensure responsibility for managing the library daily.

Filing for the election ended late last year, with old and new faces entering various races around the village. Here is who's running for library board in Flossmoor:
