Helping Boards & Directors Function as a Team
Working together
Families, seniors, students and people of all ages seek knowledge, entertainment and information at their local library. Their success depends on how well members of the entire library team — board, management and staff — interact with one another.
How much time does your library board and director spend together? Studies have shown that for most libraries, it's under five hours a month.
Making good use of your time . . .
Associate Pat Fisher discusses how working together, we can accomplish much more than any of us could individually.
In the short time they have together, boards and directors need to discuss the big, meaningful issues and make wise decisions for their community and its library.
Ellen Miller knows what makes an effective director-board team. Besides her work with diverse local, regional and statewide library clients, her track record includes eight years as a local trustee, four years on a state library board and service on the boards of both the ALTA and the PLA.
