This toolkit includes publications such as the Trustees Manual, articles on various library law topics, and a schedule of upcoming workshops tailored to the informational needs of library trustees. It is compiled in a manner designed to address specific issues pertinent to public libraries and trustees and to facilitate trustee learning.
