商品簡介
This guide for library trustees is presented by the Association of Library Trustees, Associates, Friends and Foundations (ALTAFF), a division of the American Library Association. Written in accessible language, the guide seeks to demystify library governance. It introduces the role of the library in the community and the trustee's role, then offers advice on fund raising and advocacy, strategic planning, and developing and approving policies. A chapter on best practices of library boards includes tips on holding board meetings and new trustee orientations. The final chapter covers current issues such as pay equity and user privacy. Numerous sample documents and policies from real libraries round out the book. Reed and Kalonick are affiliated with ALTAFF. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
