We are looking for New Library Board Members!. Public library boards have five primary roles: 1. Advocate for the library and library users. To be a library advocate is to work for the betterment of library services for everyone in our communities. Advocacy includes working to obtain adequate funding for the library; pursuing opportunities to meet and speak with community groups; presenting library items to the mayor and town council; making sure the community s needs and interests are paramount when making board decisions. 2. Planning for the future of the library. Planning is one of the most important trusts that the community gives to the library board. Planning is deciding what is going to happen with library services over the next few years. Determining the direction of the library through service responses and insuring that it is responsive to what our community needs. 3. Oversee the effectiveness of the library. The community puts its trust in the library board to make sure the library is operating the way it should. The board monitors financial reports and approves all expenditures. The board reviews and approves the annual report for the Library Services Branch of Municipal Affairs which includes a survey of library user satisfaction levels with the services received from the library. 4. Set library policies. (Policy is a carefully designed, broadly stated written guideline for actions and decisions of the library.) The library board spends much of its time on policy issues - developing policies to meet the changing operational needs of the library. Once adopted by the board, library staff carries out the policies on a day-to-day basis. 5. Work with the director, respecting each other s roles. The board oversees and works with the director to ensure effective management of staff and resources for consistent operations and in the best interests of those the library serves. Our Board meets once a month. If you think this is a good fit for yourself or anyone you know, please contact LeeAnn at: assistant.director@prmlibrary.ab.ca.
