Otonabee - South Monaghan Public Library Board
The Otonabee-South Mongahan Public Library Board is a governing board, a legal corporation with the authority to make policy and to govern the library's affairs under the Public Libraries Act, RSO 1990, c. p.44. The Otonabee-South Monaghan Public Library Board is composed of 8 appointed members (must live within the Township of Otonabee - South Monaghan or own property). 7 members are appointed by Otonabee - South Monaghan Township Council with 1 member from Council.
A board's duty is to provide comprehensive, effective and efficient public library service that reflects the community's needs and builds community capacity.
Stakeholders of today's libraries expect strong leadership. Consequently modern governance must reach beyond ongoing budget oversight and regular strategic planning exercise to embrace new ideas, and forge strong relationships that will support the library in its Vision, and Mission to the community.
Currently, the Library Board meets the 3rd Wednesday morning 8:30 to 9:45 am at the Keene branch.
Currently, applications are being accepted for the 2018 - 2022 term. We are looking for persons with fundraising, marketing and financial expertise to join our team. Please contact Carolanne Nadeau, CEO keene_library@nexicom.net if your are interested in becoming a library board trustee.
