November 6, 2024 - 1:00PM - 3:30PM Virtual Trustee Roundtable Serving as a Library Trustee can be fulfilling - and exhausting. Ever wonder how Trustees at other libraries manage the issues you are facing? Wish you knew more about the services available from the Library of Michigan? This informal virtual meeting will cover both of those wishes! Come spend some time with fellow trustees in the warmth and comfort of your own home - with no worry about OMA violations! In this session, Joe Hamlin and Clare Membiela will facilitate discussions on library funding, contracting, Establishment and the Open Meetings Act. There will also be time for a Q&A... and a couple of surprises... Participants in this session will be able to: * Discover the importance of knowing their library's establishment. * Discuss the State Aid process and the pros and cons of library service contracts. * Identify resources for support, including fellow library trustees from other libraries.
