The regional library systems and the State Library have been co-sponsoring a very successful series on Everyday Ethics for Libraries. The sixth of ten programs was held on the evening of Tuesday, May 25th. “Are You Trustee-Worthy?” was designed to help both trustees and librarians with ethical issues for library boards. Both librarians and trustees were welcomed to the session. It was presented by Gina Millsap, Director of the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library.
The archive to Gina’s session is available at:
