Trustee Handbook Book Club: Ethics & Conflicts of Interest + Intellectual Freedom, Censorship and Privacy

Join co-authors of the Handbook for Library Trustees of New York State Jerry Nichols and Rebekkah Smith Aldrich for this fun and informative series! Each month trustees are encouraged to read a chapter of the Trustee Handbook and send in questions that the authors will address.



Before the event:

1. Please read the Ethics and Conflict of Interest chapter as well as the Intellectual Freedom, Censorship and Privacy chapter before this session.

2. Thoughts to consider before the program:

Does your board have an up-to-date Conflict of Interest policy which includes the requirement that all trustees sign a disclosure form annually?

Has your board adopted a Code of Ethics?

Does your board have an anti-nepotism policy?

Has the board recently reviewed its collection development policy and challenge of library materials form and procedure?

Does the library’s collection development policy reflect the principles of the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights and Freedom to Read Statement?
