The library system is governed by a board of trustees consisting of six volunteer trustes acting as community representative members appointed by the Cambridge City Manager.[https://www.wickedlocal.com/story/cambridge-chronicle-tab/2021/11/28/members-sought-fill-cambridge-library-board-trustees-vacancies/8666982002/] Meetings of the board are open to the public.[https://www.cambridgema.gov/cpl/aboutus/boardoftrustees/Directory] The day-to-day oversight is by the Director of Libraries, who is supported further by managers at the separate neighbohood branches.
The system is funded primarily through property taxes as a department of the City of Cambridge and receives additional support from the Cambridge Public Library Foundation and Friends of the Cambridge Public Library.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cambridgema.gov/-/media/Files/cambridgepubliclibrary/strategicframeworkbrochure.pdf |url-access= |title=Cambridge Public Library Strategic Framework |author=Staff writer |year=
