Nothing spooky ahead of this month’s meeting of the Guelph Public Library Board of Directors, but there may be some tricks and treats for anyone interested in attending. In terms of presentations, you will be treated to the update of the strategic plan and the library’s future, plus there will be updates about how best to recognise the people that make the library’s work possible, the donors. To learn more, check out the preview below.
NOTE #1: This meeting will take place in Programming Room at the Main Library on Norfolk Street, but you can also watch it on video via Cisco Webex. (Find the link on the library board’s webpage.)
NOTE #2: The meeting begins at 6 pm and is expected to wrap up around 8 pm.
NOTE #3: The Library does not make the complete agenda with reports available to the public, only the point form agenda.
Consent Agenda – As usual, this portion of the agenda includes correspondences, the acting CEO report, service utilisation and capacity scorecards, the operating variance, and the human resource scorecard, plus the Central Library update. The board will only tackle these reports if a member asks to pull them for further discussion.
Presentations & Reports – Overlap & Associates will present the draft version of the 2025-2029 Strategic Plan and get board feedback about what it contains as it pertains to the potential future services and directions for the library system. There will also be some new discussion about how to best recognise library donors, and there will be a presentation about public art at the new library building on Baker Street.
CLOSED MEETING:
The board will meet in closed on one items and once again it’s a matter that involves “labour relations or employee negotiations”. It’s worth keeping in mind that the hiring of the new Library CEO is still an ongoing matter.
