AGM 2017 Board Nominations

Beth Davies is Chief Librarian of Burnaby Public Library. Previous to taking on this role in October 2016, she was in leadership roles at Vancouver Public Library, including Neighbourhood Services Manager and Head of the Carnegie Branch. She has worked in public libraries since 1999. Beth has been a Board member of PovNet, an online resource for the anti-poverty community, since 2009, serving as Board Chair since 2011.

I am passionate about the critical role that public libraries play in connecting with communities, in making our library spaces accessible to all community members, and in meaningfully engaging with communities outside our walls to provide relevant and responsive service. I believe the BC Libraries Cooperative plays a critical role in providing libraries with the support, services and cost savings they need to continue their great work in Canadian communities.
