From: State Library of IowaOpen Forum this week
Make a little time for yourself this Friday to join the NE Open Forum. This time between holidays can be so stressful. These are informal gatherings in Zoom, casual conversations where we talk about whatever issues are on your mind. It's an great chance to pose questions of each other and share solutions that work for you.

Nov. 30 Library Board Training Opportunity on Policies
Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 6:00 p.m.
I know it's short notice, but I wanted to be sure you'd seen this. The fourth session of The Boardroom series turns to policies, with a discussion of some topics not commonly addressed. State Library consultants Samantha Bouwers and Bonnie McKewon will point to policy topics like determining closed holidays, as well as issues surrounding library programming and using social media.
November's Boardroom also welcomes guest speaker Rachel Onuf, Program Director with Vermont Historical Records. Rachel has expertise in disaster preparedness, another topic not often addressed in libraries; she will talk with trustees about their role in developing disaster-related policies.
