About the Cochrane Public Library Board
As is required by the Ontario Public Libraries Act, the Cochrane Public Library is governed by members of the public appointed by the Town of Cochrane municipal council. The board meets regularly to discuss issues of library policy and governance.

Join the Board
We currently do not have a vacancy in a trustee position.
However, the Library Board term mirrors the municipal council term, and applications are being accepted at Town Hall for the 2026-2030 term. Think you’d be a good fit? Here’s how to apply:
- Check out the duties of a trustee
- Apply through the Town of Cochrane and keep a copy of the application
- Fill out a prospective trustee questionnaire
- Submit the application and your questionnaire to the library in a sealed envelope marked “Cochrane Public Library Board – Chairperson”
Board meetings
Board meetings and minutes are open to the public. Minutes are provided to the municipal council after they are approved by the Library Board, and can be made available to the public by request.
If you would like to make a presentation to the CPL Board, please contact us to give notice.
