Essex County Library Board

After a municipal election, each local municipality in Essex County forwards to the County Clerk the name of a nominee from their municipality to serve as a representative on the Essex County Library Board.

The Essex County Striking Committee shall review the names of the nominees received and then make final recommendations for the Essex County Library Board appointees to County Council for approval. 

The Library Board consists of seven (7) members. The number of County Councillors appointed to the Library Board shall not exceed four (4), in accordance with the Public Libraries Act.

Library Board members receive payment and mileage compensation for attending meetings.

The Library Board meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday, usually at 7:00PM, (except for July and August) at the Essex County Civic Centre, located at 360 Fairview Avenue, Essex.
