Meet Up for New Directors

You are not alone! Join us for an informal gathering of New Directors (in your role for 3 years or less) to discuss relevant topics related to finding your path as a new director. Facilitated by MHLS Executive Director, Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, author of the Handbook for New Library Directors in New York State & co-author of the Handbook for Library Trustees in New York State, this program will address questions submitted in advance by attendees, particularly in the areas of working with your board, planning, and project/time management.

Title: Statistical Reports for You and Your Board, presented by Laurie Shedrick, Assistant Director & Technology Operations Manager.

Reporting statistical information can tell the story of your library. The story is yours to tell. This session will lay the foundation to get you thinking about what you are reporting and how to report it efficiently and powerfully using the data created in the Sierra system and electronic resources. A panel of seasoned directors will be on hand to provide first hand advice in forming the narrative and we will follow that through with the reports that provide the data you need.
