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
