Fenway Library Organization: Committees

Committees

The success of The Fenway Libraries Organization relies on the collaboration of its Member Libraries through the Committee system. Committees are composed of interested representatives from each library and meet on a monthly basis to discuss ongoing issues, address developing concerns, or collaborate on new initiatives. Committee members represent their libraries interest to the greater FLO community and are responsible for relaying decisions or topic for discussion back to their respective libraries.  Committees are open to FLO member library staff only.
