Southern Ontario Library Service and Ontario Library Service--North are pleased to announce an upcoming webinar on the Public Libraries Act.

Given the recent changes to the PLA, we thought it would be timely to provide a walk-through of the Act, highlighting the changes and discussing some of the practical implications of the legislation.

Date: Monday, March 9, 2020
Time: 10:30am to 12:00pm EDT /
9:30am to 11:00am CDT
Cost: FREE

Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to attend and the honour to co-present at the Ontario Library Boards’ Association (OLBA) Boot Camp. A component of the Ontario Library Association (OLA) Super Conference, the Boot Camp brings together public library board members from across the province for a day of learning and discussion. In addition to our presentation on the Library CEO-Board relationship (covered at the end of this post), board members participated in other sessions that we’ve summarized below:

The GovernanceHUB Team will be offering more webinars for Board Members throughout the year:

• Spring 2020: The Library Board's Role in Strategic Planning
• Fall 2020: Creating an Effective and Fair Process for Library CEO Performance Evaluation
