Responsibilities of a library board member

The position of a library board member, or trustee, at the Port Moody Public Library is a voluntary commitment of service to the community, with no pay or allowances. Library trustees are citizens whom the community has “trusted” to care for its library.

The following list describes some of the responsibilities of board members:

  • Maintain an objective and unbiased approach free of conflict of interest.
  • Hire a Library Director to oversee management of day-to-day operations, and evaluate their performance.
  • Regularly attend and participate in meetings of the Board and committees.
  • Attend special events and represent the Library at community functions.
  • Advocate for the Library in the community and represent the community to the Library.
  • Advocate for the needs of the Library with City Council and the provincial government.

If you would like to know more about being a trustee for the Port Moody Public Library Board, please contact the Library Director.
