THUNDER BAY — The Thunder Bay Public Library is seeking city council approval to remove dedicated spots on its governing board for local school board representatives.
“Back about 100 years ago, when the [local] library system [got started], the schools were very heavily involved in library life,” he said in an interview. “We had a lot of school visits, most schools didn’t have their own little libraries.” It won’t be official until city council also gives its approval, however, since the library board’s membership is set out in a city bylaw.
“The school board representatives are not necessarily residents who possess skills we require,” she wrote. “Not being able to have input into prospective board members does not help the TBPL board in attracting interested residents with skills and knowledge that we are looking for; or meeting our goals regarding equity, diversity and inclusion on the TBPL Board.
Pending council’s vote on the matter, the school board representatives have continued to be invited to library board meetings.
