Board

The Public Libraries Act (RSO, 1990), which is a provincial statute, designates Library Boards as governing boards. The Act grants boards with the authority to make policy and to govern the library’s affairs. For the most part, library boards:

• determine which services are offered by the library
• seek funds through the Municipal Council’s budget
• seek additional funding and grants
• appoint a Chief Executive Officer
