You can find the latest American Libraries Magazine online and this issue features an article on capitalizing on talents of trustees as the community face of the library.

http://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2015/10/30/building-better-board-of-trustees/

The report also mentions the “Rising to the Challenge: Re-envisioning Public Libraries” report found here: http://csreports.aspeninstitute.org/documents/AspenLibrariesReport.pdf

Be sure to take a look at the “15 things library trustees can do to strengthen and ensure the future of their public libraries” within the report.
