updated on 3/16/2020:
This event will be postponed due to the March 10, 2020 Governor's Coronavirus Advisory for all executive branch employees that cancel or virtually hold conferences, seminars, and other discretionary gatherings. We are investigating how we may hold trustee orientations virtually. Please contact Maura Deedy if you have any questions.

Are you a new library trustee eager to learn about your new, and very important, role? A “seasoned” board member looking for a refresher course? Trustee Orientations are a great opportunity to meet key staff at MBLC who work with trustees, to learn more and ask questions about your roles and responsibilities as a member of a library board. At each session we cover board responsibilities, library funding and State Aid, state laws with relevance to libraries, and how to be an effective advocate for libraries. Time is included for questions and answers.  Orientations are aimed at new trustees, and all trustees and library directors are welcome to attend.
