Lead Your Library: Evaluating the Director and Board
Lead Your Library: Practical Management for Public Libraries
Practical Strategic Planning Series
Director evaluations and board self-assessments are critical to the organization – while boards evaluate the director, they must also engage in self-assessment in order to best serve the Library and community.
Practical and effective models of evaluation and assessment, designed to deal with the current challenges your library faces and help you plan for the future will be reviewed in this interactive online workshop.
