Library Board

The Belleville Public Library and John M. Parrott Art Gallery is a community meeting place that supports and inspires lifelong learning, creativity, growth and success by providing equitable access to information, print and digital resources, technology and the arts in a welcoming environment.  

The Library Board is appointed by the City Council through the Clerk's Office and is tasked with governing the Library and Gallery.

Board Trustees provide financial oversight for the Library and are responsible for all aspects of the operations, through the hiring and supervision of the CEO.  The Board meets a minimum of 10 times per year, usually monthly.  The Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries for the Government of Ontario, and the Public Libraries Act, provide the legal framework for public libraries in Ontario.

Please contact the Library or see the Ontario Library Service if you are interested in learning more about the role of Public Library Board Trustees.
