The Boston Regional Advisory Council represents member libraries and their users in the Boston Regional Library System. Its purpose is to advise the Boston Public Library in its development, implementation, and evaluation of the Boston Region Plan of Service, which defines the manner in which the Region's mission and goals will be carried out. The Administrator of the Boston Region and the President of the Boston Public Library, or delegate, will serve as ex-officio members of the Council. The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners will designate a liaison to the Council. No Council member may serve for more than two consecutive terms.
Terms are on a calendar year basis.
These nominations will be presented at the Region's annual meeting of member libraries at which time additional nominations may be put forward by member libraries. Each member library will have one vote to determine the nominees appointed to the Council. The Advisory Council will meet quarterly each year. Additional meetings may be scheduled at the discretion of the Council Chair in consultation with the Administrator of the Boston Region. An annual meeting of all member libraries will be held in the fall of each year for the purpose of appointing Council members and reporting to the membership on the Regional Plan of Service.
