Help Shape Public Library Trustee Education in New York State! Survey open NOW!

A big part of what makes New York’s libraries strong are the citizen boards that govern them. Neighbors helping neighbors. However, with increasing regulations, the tax cap and rapid changes in our society related to technology, economics, education and the environment – public library trustees have never had more to contend with.

Thanks to the ILEAD USA program through the New York State Library, a team has been formed to spearhead the effort to develop a standardized trustee education framework to facilitate knowledge creation among public library trustees in New York.

Public library trustees and directors are invited to participate in a survey that will inform the HATS team’s activities as they work with their partners to strengthen trustee education in New York State.

The goal of this survey is to gain a general understanding of trustees’ confidence level in board related topics, preferences in receiving information, and limitations in the area of trustee education.

Input will help shape the next step in this project; please answer as honestly as possible. All responses are anonymous.

If you are a library trustee, jump right in and respond to the survey and be sure to share this opportunity with your peers on the board.

Library directors, we ask that you not only fill out the survey but encourage your board of trustees to do so as well.

Responses are due by Monday, June 15th
