Your Guide to Building Rapport With Municipal Administration and Council
A guide prepared by Parkland Regional Library System.
Issue: How to foster and engage understanding that one doesn’t report to the other, libraries are not municipal departments and have a range of funding streams (Provincial, Municipal, fundraising, sponsorship, fees, etc.)
Ask yourself:
- How can board members strengthen the relationship between library boards and municipal councils/administrations?
- How is your library helping to deliver on municipal priorities? (e.g. economic development, youth and senior programs, etc.) Why is this important?
- What tactics can be used to illustrate the value that libraries deliver for the community? (e.g. informational graphics, short videos, etc.)
