2025's first Trustee Handbook Book Club session is Wednesday, January 22^nd at 5pm.

Our topic: Advocacy, with a particular focus on mobilizing trustees to help with state budget advocacy. We will be joined by a guest speaker, one of our own: Kevin Verbesey. Kevin is a former chair of the NYLA Legislative Committee and a long-time committee member that will help explain the idea of library advocacy as “political, but non-partisan.”
