Summary
Libraries can't function without policies, and they can't function well without carefully thought out legal policies. This session will review the components of a legal policy and discuss the roles of directors staff and board in the formulation and implementation of policies.
Description
Clear, legal, enforceable policies are crucial to the smooth operation of a public library. Library directors and their boards must work together to ensure that all policies are implemented, enforced and relevant. This session will review the elements of a good policy and its implementation through the exercise of drafting a revised privacy policy.
Participants in this session will be able to identify the components of a well-drafted library policy
Participants in this session will be able to adapt these components for use in their own policy process.
