The Port Moody Public Library Board is a governance board which operates under the authority of the Library Act of British Columbia. The Board is responsible for providing library services and programs in Port Moody.

Board members, also known as library trustees, establish the policies, goals, and objectives of the library. They also advocate for the library in the greater community. The day-to-day operation of the library is the responsibility of the Library Director and senior staff.

The Library Board is made up of eight Port Moody residents appointed by Port Moody City Council for two year terms. The Board also has one city councillor appointed for a one year term.
