Library Board & Staff

Library Board

The Brockville Public Library Board is responsible for developing Brockville Public Library’s policies and working with the CEO to oversee the operation of the library. The Board is composed of volunteers appointed for up to four years by the Brockville City Council. Most are members of the general public, with one city Councillor appointed as the City’s representative.

Regular Board meetings are held ten times a year on the fourth Monday of the month, except in July and December. Members of the public are welcome to attend Library Board meetings. The meetings are hybrid, held in person at the Brockville Public Library, 23 Buell Street and via Zoom. To obtain a Zoom invitation, please send an email to ceo@brockvillelibrary.ca. Delegations or individuals wishing to make a presentation to the Board must notify the CEO by no later than 5pm, ten calendar days prior to the Board meeting and provide written information about the subject of the presentation no later than five days prior to the Board meeting. Presentations by delegates or individuals are limited to ten minutes.
