Library policies assist staff in making day-to-day decisions. Policies grow out of, and give definition to, the library’s mission in the community, and they provide the basis for consistent operational procedures. This one-hour webinar describes the importance of clear policies and procedures and how to develop them for your library to support successful library operations.
This will be a free, virtual training and will take place January 16th from 10am-11am. The date has changed due to extenuating circumstances. While this training is meant for rural libraries, anyone is able to attend. Register now to join!
