Past Present and Future Governing Body of Canberra Library
Canberra Community Library struggles with governance as the council seeks a representative governing body. The library, founded 1925 in Acton, grew from 266 to about 4000 books, supported by subsidies and room access from the Commission. Loss of camp loans and shifts in welfare groups led to non-representative membership, friction over Acton delegates, and calls for a new, genuinely representative board to guide future policy.
