Authority over library governance is limited and regulated by the Alberta Libraries Act and Regulations, and the Employment Standards Act and Regulation.
Because all powers of the Board lie in its actions as a corporate body, members of the Board collectively exercise authority over all aspects of the library governance.
Individual Board members exercise their authority over library governance only through their vote.
An individual Board member, including the chair, shall have power only when the Board, by vote, has delegated authority to them.
Authority is delegated to the Board Executive to make decisions on behalf of the Board only for circumstances occurring outside the scope of regular operations.
