Building Equitable Library Worker Compensation In-Person
Library workers have traditionally been paid lower wages and provided lesser benefits in rural libraries due to cultural, social, and economic barriers. Yes, rural libraries are funded at lower levels than their partnering suburban or urban institutions, but this does not mean library boards shouldn’t think creatively about how they support workers financially. This workshop will provide an overview of the ways libraries can position themselves to better compensate current library workers and improve overall retention and recruitment. It will also highlight some essential tools trustees or directors can use to strengthen library compensation packages.
Library Trustee Learning Certified: This workshop meets New York State Legislated Library Trustee Training requirements, and counts as 1.0 credit hour towards annual library trustee training. Participants will be emailed a certificate upon completion for library record keeping.
