Our Library Board
The Stratford Public Library Board is a governance board that operates under the authority of the Ontario Public Libraries Act. The Board is responsible for providing library services and programs in Stratford.
Board members, also known as library trustees, establish the policies, goals, and objectives of the library. They also advocate for the library in the greater community. The day-to-day operation of the library is the responsibility of the Library Director and senior staff.
