Library Board

The Mission of the Board is to provide free public library service to the residents of Pushmataha County and promote universal access to a broad range of knowledge, experience, information, and ideas in a welcoming and supportive environment. This includes ensuring the continued funding for the operation and maintenance of the Antlers Public Library. – from the Library Board Bylaws
