The Brisbane Library and the Governor

The city of Brisbane does not have a governor instead it has a mayor and a city council, who combined make decisions for the future of the town in accordance with the needs and wants of the community.  The power of the mayor is completely at the will of the individual. The current mayor has a weak position because he is not very vocal and lets the city council decide most of the issues, and does not usually stray away from what they suggest. However the mayor before the current mayor was very vocal at meetings and was often seen talking to the residents of  Brisbane on a daily basis. She was a vital part of all community functions not simply as the person who delivers the speech. According to the library's administrators the current mayor is not very forthcoming with solutions for the future of the library and does not seem very invested in the fate of the library it's self. While Brisbane does not have a governor it's city council has  the capacity to create change within the community and on occasion so to does the mayor.
