Help shape the future of Coquitlam’s libraries

The City of Coquitlam is recruiting four volunteers to serve two-year terms on the Coquitlam Public Library Board. Board members have a governance role in guiding the strategic direction of library services and supporting spaces and programs where people can learn, connect and belong.

The city is seeking people willing to contribute their time, ideas and expertise. Experience or skills in governance, communications, finance, education, technology, law or community organizations would be an asset. Applicants from diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must be Coquitlam residents or municipal electors and must be at least 18 years old as of Jan. 1, 2027.

Prospective board members can attend a Zoom information session on Thursday, Sept. 17, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Registration is available by contacting OfficeManager@coqlibrary.ca.

Applications open Tuesday, Sept. 8, and close Thursday, Oct. 8, at noon. Applications can be submitted online at coquitlam.ca/VolunteerBoards.
