New public library directors quickly learn what seasoned directors
already know: running a library means you’ve always got your
hands full—balancing the needs of staff, patrons, facilities,
library boards, and other stakeholders with professional
responsibilities like community interactions, legal and financial
requirements, and whole lot else that wasn’t exactly in the job
description. Whether you are considering becoming a public library
director, are brand new to the role, or have settled in but find
yourself thinking “there’s got to be a better way,” authors
Hall and Parker are here to help. This book walks you through the
core components of getting up to speed and then provides templates,
sample documents, checklists, and other resources that will make
your job easier. Gleaned from their own decades of experience in
library leadership positions, in this toolkit they cover such key
topics as employees, trustees, finances, legal issues, library
policies, emergency planning, and technology; discuss strategic
planning and share advice on keeping up with trends; offer nearly
two dozen ready-to-use resources, including a Director’s Report
Template, a Social Media Policy, an Employee Exit Questionnaire, a
Library Cleaning Checklist, a Vision Statement worksheet, and more;
and suggest additional learning opportunities in each chapter to
help you continue your learning journey. Public library directors
can steer clear of common pain points by relying on the expert
guidance and organizational aids in this toolkit.
