The Southeast Arkansas Regional Library is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of members of the county library boards of each county served. Each county judge is an ex-officio member of the board. Two members from each county board are voting members, and the Director of the Regional Library serves as the Board's Executive Secretary. The Board makes the policies of the Library and they, in turn, are administered by the Director. The Board normally meets the second Monday of February, May, August, & November.
