Trustee Education

Join MHLS Executive Director, Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, for Pathways to Sustainable Funding on December 12th, from 1:30 – 3:30 pm in the MHLS Auditorium in Poughkeepsie, NY.

One of the primary responsibilities of a library trustee is to secure adequate funding for the library. This requires both an honest assessment of the true costs to run a viable, vital, and visible library as well as a strong understanding of the legal funding mechanisms for libraries in New York State. This MHLS Trustee Education Series session provides an overview of key areas impacting library budgets as well as introduce the new toolkit released this year from the New York State Library, the Public Library District Toolkit: Strategies to Assure Your Library’s Legal and Financial Stability.

This in-person event requires advanced registration.
