The LCPF is set up as a separate ledger account using the same format as a gift fund 3 column received, disbursed, and balance. If more detail is wanted, a separate hand or computer ledger with columns for each LCPF line item can be set up in the same format as the Library Financial and Appropriation Record. Raises are given according to the policy the library board has set. The library board ultimately will make the decision about salaries. They may request the director to give recommendations for staff raises, but the library board will make the final decision on all salaries.
Respect has to be earned.
Find something good to say about each staff member and board member. Personally brag to each staff member about their accomplishments, even small ones. Have a positive attitude. When there is a problem, involve the person in the choice of solutions. Empower each person to strive to do their best each day.
