Board Academy

Something we hear a lot from board members during our visits that they would like to learn more about their role on the board, within the library, and library-related information from across the State.
Board Academy is what we’ve come up with to help in this area. It will be distributed by e-mail about 4 times a year, with special editions to cover major breaking news. There will also be a PDF version available to print for distribution to other members of your board.
