   2. The director attends meetings of the Board of Trustees and has the right to speak on all subjects under discussion, but does not have the right to vote.
   3. The director should continually review current practices of other libraries and be alert to external trends and changes that can affect the library's program of services. This should be done at his or her convenience so recommendations can be made of these new services and policies which would then be placed into operation once approved by the Board of Trustees.
