Join the Library Board

We are seeking an engaged, community-minded individual to join the Orillia Public Library Board. This is a rewarding opportunity to help guide the library’s strategic direction, governance, and long-term sustainability.

We welcome candidates with experience in one or more of the following:

• Board governance and policy development
• Human resources
• Legal or risk management
• Public advocacy, government relations, or community engagement
• Financial oversight, budgeting, or auditing
• Partnerships and stakeholder collaboration

Board members help set the library’s vision, approve policies and budgets, hire and evaluate the Chief Librarian, and serve as ambassadors in the community.

A commitment to public service, collaboration, and equitable access to library services is essential. Previous board experience is an asset, but not required.
