Management Track
Wednesday, January 27

This track is geared toward management best practices in libraries. 
10:30 a.m. - Nitty Gritty Policy Makeover 
Does your library have too many policies? And if you do, do they need an overall? This webinar will examine policy vs. procedures and learn simple strategies to overhaul policies to give staff decision-making power translating to better service. 

Participants Will:
- Discuss rewriting and condensing policies with library staff and board members
- Discuss how to create policies that are proactive and positive, rather than reactive and punitive
