Public library trustees and librarians often find themselves cast in opposing roles, even as they strive to reach common goals. Traditional manuals have focused on one role or on the other, neglecting the importance of mutual understanding and respect. This guide for trustees presents an integrated approach to managing trustee/librarian relations, addressing key issues such as defining roles, hiring, setting policies, establishing public relations, managing money, legal issues, and working with local government.
