Our Library is run by its Members.

The Pemberton Library Board is responsible for creating a vision of library service for the community, articulating values and principles, setting goals, developing effective governance policy, monitoring the Library Director’s performance and meeting provincial standards.

The Pemberton & District Public Library Association operates under terms laid out in the provincial Library Act.

Board Meetings

The board usually meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 pm in the Library. Meetings are open to the public, but please check for date and time changes at the Library. There are typically no meetings in July and August.

The Application Process

The Annual General Meeting is held every January when the board resigns and is re-elected. Every adult library cardholder is a member of the Public Library Association and is eligible to vote in the annual election of trustees.
