many Americans turn to their libraries. While this is a true affirmation of the
value our country places on its libraries, it increases the responsibility for

an accurate knowledge of your collections and services, and a willingness to

staff are expected to embrace technology advancements and keep their skills

savvy are your trustees? The more that trustees are dialed into a personal use
of technology, the better advocates they will be for the library’s technology
needs. Learn some fun and practical ways to inspire greater tech savviness in
your trustees. You don’t need a board of IT specialists, just a board that has
a sharper set of digital tools.
