An interim 16-member advisory board includes writers, artists, publishers, booksellers, librarians, archivists, educators, and members of the Idaho Humanities Council and the Idaho Commission on the Arts. The state librarian, Charles Bolles, will be an ex-officio board member. Idaho is the 27th state center for the book to become affiliated with the Library of Congress. State centers participate in the LC Center for the Book's educational outreach program, but they plan and fund their own projects. When its application is approved, a state center is granted affiliate status for three years.
Renewals are for three-year periods.
