The Board of the Whistler Public Library is a committed group of people who love libraries and love Whistler. As appointees of the Mayor and Council, Board members work hard with the Library Director and staff to help make our library the dynamic, progressive, and inspiring place it is today. Specifically, the Board, along with the RMOW, has overall fiscal responsibility for the library. The Board’s other primary roles include helping to determine strategic priorities, developing policies, and hiring the Library Director. 

The Board meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m. with the exception of June, July, and August, where June is tentative and will be scheduled if needed. Board meetings are “hybrid” meaning they are both in person and virtual.

The WPL Board is operated pursuant to the BC Library Act.
