- 2018 Handbook for Library Trustees
by Jerry Nichols - The printed version of the Handbook is intended to be kept in a binder or folder along with other important documents such as the Library’s Bylaws, Policy Manual, and Long-Range Plan, so that updated information can be added as needed. The online version includes live web links and is searchable using the (CTRL F) function on your keyboard. It is an important companion to this Handbook.
