Starting in 2023, Wisconsin library trustees and staff have access to United for Libraries content including upcoming Learning Live webinars.
On Tuesday, April 11 at 1 p.m. Central Time, United for Libraries is presenting Board Support for Success with presenters from the Cedar Rapids Public Library.
Cedar Rapids Public Library received the prestigious Jerry Kline Community Impact Prize from Library Journal in 2022. The library’s Executive Director Dara Schmidt noted that the Board of Trustees’ confidence in leadership and staff was what enabled the library to achieve its ambitious goals. According to Library Journal, “What has made all the difference is that the library’s ideas, large and small, are developed with input not only from leadership and the board but from staff, residents—both patrons and non-library-users—and partners.” Learn how the CRPL board helped shape the library’s strategic plan, and how the board’s work and involvement helped the library achieve its goals of working with community partners and stakeholders to become an invaluable community resource.
Registration for the webinar is free for all Wisconsin library trustees and staff.
