The Oklahoma Department of Libraries Board is hereby created. The Board shall consist of seven (7) appointive members, and the Director, who shall be an ex officio nonvoting member. The Governor shall appoint, with the advice and consent of the Senate, one member from each congressional district and any remaining members shall be appointed from the state at large. However, when congressional districts are redrawn each member appointed prior to July 1 of the year in which such modification becomes effective shall complete the current term of office and appointments made after July 1 of the year in which such modification becomes effective shall be based on the redrawn districts. Appointments made after July 1 of the year in which such modification becomes effective shall be from any redrawn districts which are not represented by a board member until such time as each of the modified congressional districts are represented by a board member. No appointments may be made after July 1 of the year in which such modification becomes effective if such appointment would result in more than two members serving from the same modified district. No appointive member shall be a librarian in active practice. Appointments shall be made on the basis of ability, sound understanding of the total responsibilities and objectives of a state library agency and active interest in the attainment of these goals.
