Meet-Up Description:
All organizations have facilities needs – but not all have a dedicated manager to handle the upkeep, improvements, and unexpected issues their facilities will inevitably face. These tasks often fall to staff, who must find the time and gain the know-how to maintain their buildings and grounds and to interface with vendors and contractors.
In this Facilities Management Meet-Up support staff, managers, and library workers can come together to exchange best practices, anecdotes, and problems and to seek help with specific needs. We can share information on local vendors, capital improvement strategies, and general tips for staying ahead of problems before they become disasters.
We’ll begin the meeting with a presentation from the Office Manager of the Southeastern New York Library Resources Council. He’ll share strategies and tools for keeping up with the regular maintenance our buildings often need and the problems that pop up with no warning. The presentation will be followed by time for open discussion.
