On Tuesday June 10, from 10 am to 11 am, the New York State Library and the Library Trustees Association of New York State will offer a webinar entitled, “The Critical Partnership: Public Library Trustees and Directors.”
A review of the roles and responsibilities of public library Trustees and the Library Director. How to hire the best person for your Library. How to get the most out of the partnership.
