+ = Great Falls Public Library =
+ The public library, governed by the [[LibraryBoard]] under a management agreement with the City.
+ The library was created as the city library by '''Ordinance 341''' in 1910. On '''May 3, 2016''' the [[CityCommission]] adopted '''Ordinance 3140''', creating Title 2 Chapter 49 of the [[OfficialCode]], establishing the Great Falls Public Library and repealing Ordinance 341.
+ Directors in the recent record: '''Susie McIntyre''' through 2025, '''Amy Dissmeyer''' from 2026.
+ = Funding =
+ The library is funded by a fixed mill levy authorised in the City Charter. When state tax legislation changed mill values in 2025, the Commission had to recalibrate that limit; see [[LibraryMillLevy]]. The library also presents an annual report to the Commission at a work session — see [[WorkSession2025-02-18]] and [[WorkSession2025-12-02]] — and an annual budget presentation, most recently at [[WorkSession2026-07-21]].
+ Under an earlier City and library management agreement, 3.5 mills were released; those funds were later proposed as the debt service source for the [[FireTrainingCenter]] renovation.
+ = Board appointments =
+ Library Board vacancies are advertised under Resolution 10524, the City's board appointment policy. In 2026 the Board interviewed four applicants at a special meeting, recommended one, and the Commission made the final appointment at [[CityCommission2026-06-16]] after its own candidate interviews at [[SpecialWorkSession2026-06-16]].
