Dear <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Library</strong> <strong>Trustee</strong>:<br />

Providing public library service in today’s information age is very<br />

challenging. Leadership by public library trustees is essential if public<br />

libraries are to provide high quality service for their communities.<br />

Great public libraries require dedicated trustees.<br />

The purpose of this manual is to provide information and resources<br />

that will make your work as a trustee more successful and more<br />

rewarding. Just as the role of the library in your community is<br />

constantly changing to meet the needs of residents, this manual is<br />

designed so that changes can be easily made to better meet the needs<br />

of trustees. Your suggestions for additions and recommendations for<br />

changes will be welcomed.<br />

Your willingness to undertake oversight of your public library is<br />

much appreciated. <strong>Trustee</strong>s have the opportunity to impact their<br />

community through education for residents of all ages. We hope this<br />

manual provides tools to assist in your work. Congratulations on your<br />

appointment to your library’s board of trustees and best wishes for<br />

continued success in your important work.<br />
