What Am I Doing Here? (and Bad-Ass Librarians)

What am I doing here?!?!

Great libraries become that way through effective partnerships between Directors and Trustees. In this workshop, we’ll clarify the separate but intertwined responsibilities of the public library Director and the library’s Trustees. Come prepared to learn something new, have a little juicy discussion, and practice good supportive collaboration.

This workshop session is in central Allegany County, but will be repeated quarterly around the system.

Where: Belmont Literary and Historical Society Free Library, Belmont (Allegany County)
When: Tuesday, December 13th, 10:30 am to 12:00 pm (immediately following the Director’s meeting)
Register: http://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=STLS&curID=235975

Trustee Book Club: The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu

National Geographic Explorer: The Timbuktu Job

We’re reading Joshua Hammer’s The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu (and their race to save the world’s most precious manuscripts)! Trustee Book Club members have read Expect More and BiblioTech and are ready for some narrative action. I brought a stack of reviews to help us select the next book but half of the members came with this book in mind anyway!

To register to participate in Book Club, in person, virtually at the meeting, or at your local library, go here: http://www.eventkeeper.com/code/ekform.cfm?curOrg=STLS&curID=255375

In libraries and in learning,
