Page Duties and Position Descriptions


Apparently, I've developed a new reading interest:  library board minutes.


Minutes from the 11/13/2013 meeting are the most recent available at the library's website.

As noted in Administrative Essential 12 (Managing the Staff),  [t]he board must approve a position description that reflects the necessary qualifications and duties of the job.  

For every paid position in the library's organization chart, I would add.  The board should also adopt a Volunteer policy

And the director or other supervisor should take a judicious approach to the phrase "other duties as assigned".  Casting a wide net is not recommended.

Here's a Library Shelver example from the Franklin Public Library.  (page 1 of 2)


Once upon a time.....
