Trustee Handbook

The GPLS 2016 Trustee Handbook is an overview of the basic information needed by library trustees to be effective board members and library advocates. The library trustee is a part of the decision-making team that oversees the public library, one of the fundamental institutions of our democracy. Thank you for your enthusiasm, preparation and dedication to your community.

The Appendix of the Trustee Handbook is available online and includes a variety of resources. You’ll find more information on the working of GPLS, background information on library laws and policies, and tools to further your knowledge.
