Trustee Education Series: Legal Basics for Library Trustees

Trustee Education Series: Legal Basics for Library Trustees In-Person

This intermediate-level course is for trustees who have been on the board for over a year and are looking for an overview of the basic laws and regulations that intersect with your service on the library board.
 
From the Handbook for Library Trustees of New York State (2023 Edition): "Public and association libraries are classified as New York State Education Corporations and are therefore subject to a wide range of federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations. While trustees cannot be expected to understand all the details of every pertinent law, they should be familiar enough with the major legal issues to be assured that their library is always in compliance."
 
At this session we will review pertinent areas of Education Law, Public Officers Law, the minimum standards for libraries in New York and more!
