Join co-author of the Handbook For Library Trustees of New York State Rebekkah Smith Aldrich and friends for this fun and informative series! At each session, trustees will take a deeper dive on a topic relevant to their role and responsibilities as a library trustee.
Hiring and evaluating the Library Director is one of nine Trustee Responsibilities. While all responsibilities are important, deciding who will be your library’s chief executive officer determines how successful a board will be at carrying out all other responsibilities. The decision has tremendous weight as it impacts your library and community. Regularly evaluating your director is equally important because it fosters a positive and healthy relationship between board and director. Furthermore, it supports the director in a way that empowers them to deliver on mission in partnership with board, staff, and all other library stakeholders. This installment of the Trustee Handbook Book Club will offer a surface level overview of these two processes, and answer trustee questions in real time to provide a deeper understanding, which should strengthen the relationship between boards and directors.
