The Federation of Ontario Public Libraries is governed by a 23-member Board made up of representatives from the following caucuses:
- First Nations Caucus – 2 members
- Francophone Caucus – 2 members
- Large Urban Caucus – 6 members
- Northern Caucus – 2 members
- Rural Caucus – 2 members
- Small / Medium Caucus – 4 members
- Toronto (no caucus required) – 4 members
The CEO of the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries sits on the board as a non-voting member.
Each caucus is responsible for electing representatives to the Board for a 3-year term of office. Of the first Federation Board members, a third took 1-year terms of office, and a second third took 2-year terms of office in order to ensure continuity for the Federation. Once elected, Board members are expected to act in the interests of members as a whole.
The Board meets every three months to discuss the business of the Federation. The Annual General Meeting is held during the Ontario Library Association Super Conference in Toronto.
