If you completed the Montana Library Law course, you have a good start with the general laws and how they apply to libraries. In this course we want to get you to a deeper level of understanding of how different library laws apply to different types of libraries. Adhering to relevant laws helps Library Directors and Trustees make better decisions.
You will learn more about the various laws and then practice some sticky decision-making based on your new understandings.
Please note the content of this course is not legal advice. We are simply sharing some best practices for complying with several laws that impact libraries. It is always wise to seek legal counsel when you have a question about the law.
