Getting On Board! Tools for Board Development & Assessment

These short videos (on YouTube) were produced by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries and were partially funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the LSTA Grants to States Program.

These videos are most effective when you watch them with other trustees so you can pause the video and discuss each topic as it applies specifically to your library and library board.
