WHY:

… is the BOLT (Board of Library Trustees) meeting agenda buried at the BPL website?

… have recruitments for vacant BOLT appointments ceased to be shared with the media?

… are BPL trustees appointed, rather than elected?

…are BOLT meetings not held in the large meeting room of the Central BPL building, for example?  

 

 

WHO: 

… selects BOLT appointees? 

 

WHAT: 

… are the qualifications for BOLT membership service? 

… jobbers/vendors are currently contracted with the BPL? 

 

WHY: 

... is the BPL Director-ship not listed with the ALA JOBList Placement Center? Is the 

affirmative-managed search for a qualified BPL director being carried out by the same 

head-hunter firm as the previous (most recent) Library director (Jeff Scott) search? 

 

WHICH: 

… Trustees plan to attend the ALA/Public Library Assn. annual conference in June? 

… BPL Librarians are being encouraged (enabled) to attend? 

 

WHAT: 

… is the cost so far for this Library Director search, and who pays? 

… are the minimum/required (mainly education and experience) qualifications for BPL Director? Desirable qualifications?
