Public Library Boards are governing boards, legal corporations with the authority to make policy and to govern the library’s affairs under the Public Libraries Act, RSO 1990, c. P.44. As such, the London Public Library (LPL) Board has direct responsibility for establishing and maintaining library policy. The Library Board undertakes a regular review process to ensure that policies are up to date, consistent with the current legislative environment and aligned with the Library’s strategic plan.
