As part of routine review of Library and Library Advisory Board policies carried out by the Library Director, it was noted that the Library Board's bylaws no longer matched the board and commission appointment calendar adopted by Council. It was further noted that some of the duties of the Book Store Manager no longer matched the bylaws, that some of the language could be updated, and that some sections needed revision to match current practices or for clarification.

Since the bylaws were incorrect, the Director provided a draft of updated bylaws to the Board at the May 1, 2023 meeting, changing the wording in Article III, Sections 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 to be in alignment with Council's current practice, to update duties, and to clarify procedures. Other word tweaks included updating language, and changing "mail" to "email" in accordance with current communication methods. The Board discussed the changes, made suggestions and asked for additional revisions to be presented at the June 5, 2023 meeting. The revised submission was approved at that meeting by unanimous vote.

To approve the June 5, 2023 Library Advisory Board revised bylaws.

The revised Library Advisory Board bylaws will accurately reflect current practice and be in alignment with Council's board and commission appointment calendar. The revisions will eliminate confusion.
