Library-Board-Chairs-Sign-New-Agreement

The Board of the Meaford Public Library and the Board of the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library are pleased to announce the successful completion of negotiations for a new service agreement to ensure that all residents of the Municipality of Meaford have the opportunity to access resources and services from the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library.

The three-year agreement can be extended for an additional two years. It demonstrates that the two boards are working together to meet the spirit and intent of the Public Libraries Act, specifically that "A Library Board shall seek to provide, in co-operation with other Library Boards, a comprehensive and efficient public library service that reflects the community's unique needs."

Meaford Public Library Board Chair, Michael Poetker, said "We are appreciative that services continued while the new agreement was negotiated. The library board is pleased that we have worked co-operatively in this endeavor and we now look forward to the many exciting opportunities ahead."

Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library Board Chair, Richard Thomas, said "It's a real pleasure to have a new agreement in place. The two Libraries have spent considerable time and energy making this work for our communities. This new agreement includes membership in the Owen Sound and North Grey Union Public Library for all residents of Meaford. Our two boards worked hard to achieve this milestone—I would invite all Meaford residents to take advantage. Stop in, pick up your library card and see what we're all about."

Staff at both libraries are busy with summer programming. More information is available at their respective websites which can be found at:
