The GeoLibrary is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Governor, the Speaker of the House, and President of the Senate. The Board represents all major stakeholder groups for geospatial data identified in the Legislative Resolve 23 Study. The GeoLibrary was formed and began meeting monthly starting in November of 2002. The mission of the GeoLibrary is to create an electronic gateway to public geographic information, and to expand and promote the value of geographic spatial data through widespread distribution and innovative use for the benefit of Maine’s citizens.
