Member Comment: SHARE Executive Council Large Public Library Representative

Home > Articles > Member Comment: SHARE Executive Council Large Public Library Representative

The SHARE Executive Council is reviewing the governance structure. One challenge the group faces is the structure of representation for public libraries as SHARE governance is currently written. Right now, public library representation includes:

  • Small Public Library Representative (Population less than 10,000)
  • Medium Public Library Representative (Population 10,001-50,000)
  • Large Public Library Representative (Population 50,001 or more)

Only one library fits the description of a large public library. That limits the volunteers that are able to serve on the SHARE Executive Council, due to both term limits and due to leadership in other committees.

Would you support changing the definition, as follows:

  • Small Public Library Representative (Population less than 10,000)
  • Medium Public Library Representative (Population 10,001-35,000)
  • Large Public Library Representative (Population 35,001 or more)
