Governance
The Peace Library Board establishes and implements the System's mission through policy governance. A policy governing board hires a chief executive officer to implement the board's policy and to manage the library system. The board provides broad, overall leadership.
The Board sets in place framework policies that guide the board's actions. The System's mission, vision, belief, and target statements clarify why the System exists, who it serves, and why. These statements set the overall purpose and direction of the System and also foster stability and continuity for the System.
The Board also creates self-governance policies, including documents that state roles and responsibilities of Board members. The System's Bylaws state the functions of the Board, the committees, and the System's officers. Many of the System's policies are required by provincial legislation and regulation. In other cases, the policies help ensure uniformity and consistency in operational procedures.
