Attendance at these workshops is necessary for director certification as part of the qualification criteria for state aid to public libraries.
Current standards for state aid for public libraries require:
Classes 1 – 3: The director shall complete the New Directors´ workshop within 1 year of initial directorship appointment.
Classes 4 - 6: The director shall complete the New Directors´ workshop within 1 year of initial directorship appointment and complete the Advanced Directors´ Workshop within 2 years of initial appointment.
This does not apply to directors that have completed these workshops prior to their current appointment as a director.
