The State Library Board consists of five members appointed by the State Board of Education.  The Board typically meets six times a year beginning in January. The upcoming schedule can be found here<https://library.ohio.gov/about/state-librarian-board/#panel-schedule>.  For information on the specific powers and duties of the State Library Board, please see Section 3375.01<https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-3375.01> of the Ohio Revised Code.  The Board will evaluate candidates' diversity, geographic locations, and relevant experience, and forward candidates' information along with a recommendation to be considered for appointment by the State Board of Education.
