The annual New Directors’ Orientation Workshops will be held Wednesday, February 20 and February 27, 2013, at the New Jersey State Library.

This two-day workshop will feature essential information for new library directors in New Jersey and will concentrate on the following areas:

                Library Finance and Per Capita State Aid

                Budgeting and Finance

                Library Law, Policy and Procedures

                Return of Excess Library Funds Law

                Library Marketing and Promotion

                Working with the Board of Trustees

There will also be an overview of services offered by the New Jersey State Library and the Talking Book and Braille Center focusing on how WE can help serve YOU in your new position as Library Director.  This is a great opportunity for new directors to learn the basics about their responsibilities and to network with other library professionals and new directors throughout the state.

More information, including registration details, will be announced soon. Attendance on both days is mandatory.

New Director’s Training will count for 14 hours toward the required minimum amount of library-related training for Per Capita State Aid.
