Library of Virginia Board
The Library Board consists of 15 members appointed by the Governor for five-year terms. The Library Board is a policy board. It determines the scope of the Library's collection, establishes policy concerning what books are kept, housed, or exhibited by the state library, promotes education in the area of history and library and archival science in the commonwealth and enters into agreements with institutions and organizations with similar purposes.
The Code of Virginia grants the Library Board the authority to award an honorary Patron of Letters degree to individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the realm of arts, history, humanities or information, library or archival science. The Library of Virginia's Patron of Letters degree is the agency's highest honor, awarded each year at the Annual Virginia Literary Awards Celebration.
