To Do Before June 30...

June 30 marks the end of the fiscal year. as well as the due date for some of your duties. Additionally, the Accreditation cycle is on a fiscal year basis, so make sure your board is aware of their duties in this regard.

- Direct State Aid money must be spent.  

- ARPA grant recipients must file the final report.

- Directors should be evaluated by the library board

- Other employees should be evaluated by the director.

- Trustees should have completed board education for this fiscal year.
