Are you responsible for the maintenance of your library building?  Do you dream of having a dedicated facilities manager? Do you really know what’s involved in the care and feeding of your building?

Join the Woodlands Library Cooperative’s fantastic Continuing Education Committee as we spend a full day talking about our facilities. The morning will be dedicated to repair and maintenance, and the afternoon is dedicated to building projects – from how to pay for them, what we learned, do’s and don’ts and other tips and tricks. Board members and vendors/architects/engineers are welcome to attend and participate, but this is primarily library staff talking to other library staff.
