Authorized by the Oklahoma Library Code and Article X, Section 10a of the Oklahoma Constitution, WPLS operates under the direction of a library board appointed by the County Commissioners of the four counties it serves; in counties with no towns of 2000 or more the board appointment is done by County Seat Towns. The System Board is composed of nine people and meets once a month to approve bills and policy.
