About Us

The Division’s goal is to provide leadership and training so trustees and friends of public libraries will be better prepared to advocate for public libraries. Being an advocate means stressing the importance of public libraries in our democratic society, improving public library funding, influencing public policy, and ensuring free and accessible access to information for all. We want to help you turn your passive support of public libraries needs into educated action.

    Workshops & Training

    If your Trustee Board would like help with an issue, or feel you need training or assistance, contact the Division Chair, Lisa Christner. Each request is reviewed to determine how best to assist. Sometimes it’s as simple as providing research/background material. Or, we may suggest that we send a qualified person(s) to travel to your location and present a workshop or training session to your Board. Asking for help is the first step in becoming better advocates for your public library.
