The Rural Library Trustee: Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships

Interested in training for your library trustees? Here’s an opportunity that should not be missed since it offers a wonderful opportunity for library board members to hear some expert advice that can help them become more effective in their roles. ARLS (Association for Rural and Small Libraries) is sponsoring a webinar next Tuesday, September 14 at 1:00 PM Central Time, 12:00 noon Mountain Time entitled, “The Rural Library Trustee: Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships.” The speakers for this one-hour webinar are: Sally Read, executive director of ALTAFF; Jim Minges, director of Northeast Kansas Library System; and Kim Armentrout, public library consultant, Library of Virginia. The webinar will be presented by WebJunction via its website. To register go to: http://www.webjunction.org/1 The webinar will be taped and available from WebJunction for those not able to attend the live presentation. How do library trustees get trained? How are director and trustee roles defined to ensure a healthy library organization? How are trustee relationships cultivated both in and outside the library circle? If you’ve thought of these or related questions, this is the webinar for you! Be sure to join us if you can (or listen to it afterward if needed) for this valuable experience.
