Library Directors
Directors’ Handbook
The Wyoming State Library has developed the Library Directors’ Handbook to assist you in your role, the responsibilities you carry, the issues you face, and the resources available to you as a Wyoming public library director.
Directors’ Handbook
In addition to this handbook, the Wyoming State Library can offer help to you and your library in the form of additional resources, training and consulting on any of the topics in this guide, or any other issues you may face.
Please do not hesitate to call or email our Library Development Office if we may assist you. A toll-free number (1-800-264-1281) is available for your use to discuss issues and policies, request presentations or seek board training.
Training Calendar
The Wyoming State Library curates a list of free, online, continuing education events (including live webinars and virtual conferences) for all Wyoming libraries to use for professional development.
In addition to the many live opportunities in our training calendar, each month we try to pick some useful and relevant videos that you can watch “At Your Leisure.”
