Designed to improve any board’s effectiveness, this resource offers proven advice about what it takes to make everything from meetings to evaluations run smoothly and addresses the critical questions every board member needs to understand:
- What does it mean to be on a library board of trustees?
- The how-tos of amplifying your message through partnerships
- How does advocacy work and why is it important?
- Who makes library policy?
- Is there a more effective way to do strategic planning?
Practical checklists, tables, and “what have you learned?” review items will help anyone maximize the experience of serving on a board. Trustees, administrators, consultants, trainers, and library students will welcome this hands-on, “bring it along and mark it up” reference.
