The Mississauga Public Library Board is made up of citizens appointed by City Council for a 4-year term. Most meetings are open and take place on the third Wednesday of each month.

The Mississauga Library System exists to serve all its residents with excellent library service. In these times that is too big a role for any one agency to do well alone. So your Library works to partner with other local agencies and services across our diverse and dynamic growing city. In order to fulfill its mandate properly, some of the key partners the Library looks to plan and work with deserve to be recognized for their contributions and meaningful cooperation throughout the year...

• the over 350 local schools serving children in kindergarten to Grade 12, their teachers and their parents
• the University of Toronto at Mississauga with over 8,500 students, many from the local community
• the nearby colleges - Sheridan, Humber and Seneca - whose students come from Mississauga in large numbers
• Heritage Mississauga, a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting our rich history to today's residents
• the Museums of Mississauga who collect and share our fascinating history with all residents
• the Recreation and Parks Department of the City itself whose staff work closely with library staff to meet local needs effectively across our changing cit
• the local daycares and childhood centers whose mandate touches the same early readers that the Library serves
• the local seniors’ centres and homes where our older adults seek a good life in our city and access its many services to residents
• the local youth agencies who strive to reach out and meet the needs of local youth to engage and acknowledge their contribution to our city
• the new Office of the Arts at the City whose mandate it is to help create better communities by adding to the quality of life across our city
• the Living Arts Centre, the City's premium facility, a co-host of the Library's annual literary festival each fall
• and finally, the Friends of the Library, a dedicated volunteer group of library supporters who work continuously to help make a great library even better - and do!

Your Library Board is proud to recognize these key community partners and their cooperation and efforts to serve our residents in partnership with the Mississauga Library System. Think about becoming a supporter or volunteer of one of these community services this year. You'll give back to our great City and benefit all of us who are proud to live here.
