One of the most important things you’ll participate in as a board member is library budgeting. The director and staff will draft the budget, but you’ll play a key role in reviewing and approving allocations and expenditures.
Budgets can be confusing, especially in libraries—which have multiple revenue streams and strict rules about how funds can be used. Learning about library funding, expenditures, and your role in budgeting can make the process less overwhelming and help you support a budget that serves the library and community!
