Salaries & Benefits: Strengthening the Future of Your Library by Investing in Your Staff Online
A strong salary and benefits package is key to recruiting and retaining quality library staff.
This workshop will provide an overview of how libraries can position themselves to better compensate current library employees and improve overall retention and recruitment. It will also highlight some essential tools trustees or directors can use to strengthen library compensation packages through policy, which in return will foster overall improved organizational well-being.
Presenter: Brian M. Hildreth has been a public library system director since 2013, and worked as a public library director between 2003 – 2013. He got his start in libraries in 1997 where he worked full time in an academic library throughout his undergraduate studies. Library work and family are his passion, and he has been particularly drawn to directorship and rural libraries. His areas of interest are governance, leadership, sustainable funding, digital equity, and care for all the amazing stakeholders who make up the New York State library community. Brian is the co-moderator of the Trustee Handbook Book Club Series in New York.
This session is part of the MHLS Sustainable Funding series which is designed to create long-term strategies for better funded libraries that can meet community needs. It is intended for MHLS member library trustees only.
