Are you passionate about your community and interested in helping shape the future of library services in Georgina? The Town of Georgina is seeking engaged and community-minded residents to serve on the Georgina Public Library Board for the 2026–2030 (four-year) term of Council.
Georgina Public Library is much more than books. With four branches serving residents across Georgina, the Library provides spaces, programs, technology, resources, and opportunities that support learning, creativity, and community connection. As the Library prepares to develop its next Strategic Plan in 2027, this is an exciting opportunity to help guide its future direction.
What does the Library Board do?
The Library Board provides governance and strategic oversight of Georgina Public Library in accordance with Ontario's Public Libraries Act.
Board members work collaboratively to:
- Establish the Library's strategic direction and priorities.
- Approve policies and provide financial oversight.
- Ensure library services respond to the changing needs of the community.
- Advocate for the value of public library services.
- Support the long-term sustainability and success of the Library.
Who are we looking for?
We welcome applications from residents with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences who are committed to making a positive difference in Georgina. Experience or knowledge in areas such as governance, finance, strategic planning, technology, community engagement, accessibility, fundraising or partnerships would be valuable.
Above all, we are looking for individuals who are collaborative, open-minded, passionate about their community and willing to contribute their time and ideas. Previous Board experience or professional library experience is not required.
Time commitment
The Library Board typically meets at a minimum once per month, on the third Thursday at 7 p.m. Meetings are currently held virtually, although arrangements may change. Board members are also expected to review meeting materials in advance and are required to participate in occasional committee (working group) meetings, training opportunities, planning sessions, and community events.
Appointments are for the 2026–2030 term of Council.
