Seasoned and newly elected trustees will benefit from this review and refresher of who has the power to do what within a library government: how to act under library laws and procedures, how to follow proper voting procedure, how to deal with vacancies and make appointments, how to address parliamentary matters, conflicts and related issues.  

 

Monica Harris, Deputy Director of the Schaumburg Township District Library, will present "Tech Trends for Trustees."  She will discuss new trends in consumer technology as well as the latest in how access to new technology is changing the world around us - and our libraries.

 

The afternoon will include a legislative update from Kip Kolkmeier, ILA Legislative Consultant, and a Q&A with Library Attorney Phil Lenzini. Bring your questions!
