Events - September 20 2023

Particularly for new board members, but open to all. Library board members looking for essential, basic information to increase their effectiveness in serving on a library board will benefit from attending this session.

Learning Objectives
Attendees will develop a working knowledge of library funding and organization in New York State; receive a clear overview of stakeholder roles and responsibilities and receive an introduction to Open Meetings Law and best practices for effective board meetings. This webinar provides a foundation of knowledge that other workshops in the MHLS Trustee Education Series will build on.

Mid-Hudson libraries’ online public-facing catalog will be getting a big upgrade in late 2023. This one-hour webinar will provide a broad and comprehensive introduction to the system’s new catalog, Vega Discover.

Staff will learn about the new interface, how to use it, what they need to know to help patrons make the change, and some of the behind-the-scenes configurations and planning that is happening at Mid-Hudson.

This webinar will be recorded.
