Dear Colleagues,

The annual New Directors’ Orientation will be held Wednesday, February 17 and February 24, 2016, 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:

               Budgeting and Finance

               Library Law, Policy and Procedures

               Library Marketing and Public Relations

               Working with the Trustees and Friends

               Evaluating Your Staff

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.

Registration information will be sent soon. Please contact Michele Stricker, Deputy State Librarian,  Lifelong Learning at mstricker@PROTECTED for further information.
