The new Trustee Handbook urges all boards to take board development seriously. From understanding the new law related to trustee education requirements to more deliberate orientation and onboarding for new trustees, support for members of your board is critical to their success and therefore the success of your library. The chapter also contains an expanded conversation about board diversity and addressing this during board recruitment efforts.
Trustee responsibilities are small in number but broad in scope. This monthly Bulletin feature is designed to point out sections that are new in the updated version of the Handbook for Library Trustees of New York State.
