WPL Policy Amendments/Triennial Review
All WPL policies are reviewed by the Windsor Public Library Board (WPLB) on a three-year cycle. After initial review and approval in principle by the Board, draft policies are posted on the WPL website for public feedback. Following the comment period, policies are formally adopted by a two-thirds majority vote at a duly constituted Board meeting and then published on the website.
This year, the Foundation Policies were reviewed at the September 16, 2025 Board meeting with final review and approval taking place at the Board meeting on November 18, 2025. The next review will be in the fall of 2026.
All public comments related to the Policy revisions can be sent to the CEO, Jen Knights at jknights@citywindsor.ca
