Trustee Councils

The purpose of the SOLS Trustee Councils is to provide:

  • A communication link between SOLS and boards regarding SOLS’ services.
  • A forum for sharing information and an opportunity to hear how other boards deal with similar issues.
  • Suggestions and support for trustee training.
  • A pool of trustees from which to elect members to the SOLS board.

Trustee Councils meet twice a year in eight locations. All public library boards are requested to appoint a representative to its area Council (see Trustee Council Boundaries). In addition to the representatives, other trustees are welcome and encouraged to attend. However, only the appointed representative is eligible to sit on SOLS' board or vote in such election.

The meetings are a combination of information sharing and updates on various issues of concern to public library trustees, including an update from a representative of OLBA. Training sessions are occasionally included in the meetings.
