The Haltom City Library Board functions in an advisory capacity to the Haltom City Council and the Library Services Director. Board members do not make policy, financial, or employment decisions. Rather, working closely with the Library Services Director in regular meetings or specially called meetings or work sessions, they may develop policies, assist with library budget proposals, or call special meetings or perform specific tasks. From this work, the Board recommends to the Haltom City Council, the governing body of the library, a course of action or a particular policy. Ultimately, decisions are made by the Haltom City Council.

The Library Board is composed of eight people, each of whom must be a resident of the city and a qualified voter in city elections. All terms are for a period of two years, and members are appointed by place by the City Council member serving in the corresponding place and are ratified by the City Council. Places 1, 2, 7, and 8 are appointed in May of each odd numbered year, corresponding with the terms of office of the corresponding Councilmember. Places 3, 4, 5, and 6 are appointed in May of each even numbered year. Library Board agendas can be found here.
