The last meeting of the Guelph Public Library Board of Directors for 2024 (sadly), was a mostly straightforward affair. First, the board looked at the completed strategic plan for the next four years and then they spent 90 minutes in-camera talking about two different matters involving personnel, one brief and one kind of long. We can’t talk about what happens in-camera, but we can talk about the rest. Here’s the recap! Continue reading “RECAP: Library Board Approves Strat Plan Then Goes In-Camera for Last ’24 Meet” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

It was a relatively brief meeting of the Transit Advisory Committee this month, and that’s in-spite of the rather long shadow being cast by the potential for job action in the next few weeks.
