History
Conrad Public Library Foundation is a nonprofit corporation established in 1979 by the Conrad Public Library Board of Trustees. It is separate from the Conrad Public Library, a tax-supported institution. A seven-member board directs the organization and is responsible for its activities and finances. Ideas for projects may come from any source, but must meet the approval of the Conrad Library Board of Trustees and be compatible with library goals and the overall plan for library services.
