The Council meets six times per year at various locations around the
state.  These are 1/2 day meetings.  Members are expected to attend all
of these meetings and to actively participate in them.  They may also be
asked to serve on task forces and to attend special meetings.  From time

The Advisory Council was formed in 1988 under the provisions of Public
Act 88-216.  The stated purpose of the Council is to “assist the Board
with the development of state and federal library plans, advise the
Board on state policies and activities for library development,
cooperation among different types of libraries, and use of automated
communication systems to support cooperative information services, and
assist the Board in evaluating the usefulness of such activities to
residents of the state.”  The Advisory Council's membership is broadly
representative of the Connecticut library community.
