There’s still time to register for the upcoming trustee workshops!

Gina Millsap, director of the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, will be the featured speaker at this year’s NEKLS trustee workshops. The topic is ethics for trustees, featuring a discussion of various ethical situations your library board may face. Learn from the experiences of other libraries and leave feeling prepared to respond to problems and take action in a fair and thoughtful way. Sessions will be highly interactive, so bring your questions and come prepared for a lively discussion.

This workshop will take place four different times:

• Tuesday, July 20th, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Atchison Public Library
• Wednesday, July 21st, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Overbrook Public Library
