Otonabee - South Monaghan Public Library Board
The Otonabee-South Monaghan 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.
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 of each month except July and August, location and time will be determined - see meeting dates.
