Congratulations on your appointment to serve as a Public Library Trustee for your community! Your leadership plays a key role in helping Nevada’s public libraries grow stronger and continue to meet the informational, educational, and recreational needs of the people they serve. All public library boards operate under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 379, Public Libraries, which outlines the legal responsibilities and authority of trustees. While these laws provide a shared foundation, each library serves a unique community, making your informed and active participation essential.
The Nevada Public Library Trustee Training is designed to give you the knowledge and tools you need to lead with confidence and make a meaningful impact. This training offers clear, practical guidance on library board governance, helping you strengthen decision-making, improve board effectiveness, and deepen your understanding of how libraries operate and serve their communities. By investing your time in this training, you’ll be better prepared to support your library’s mission, contribute to its success, and ensure it continues to thrive as a valuable community resource.

Trustee Training is funded by a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) Continuing Education grant, provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records.
