Reminder: New Requirement for Accreditation

Last modified January 17, 2007 01:31 PM

Accreditation Application/Report form due January 31, 2007

The list of libraries that need to submit the Application/Report Form for Accreditation is on the State Library Web site:  http://www.statelibraryofiowa.org/ld/accr-and-standards.

New Requirement

All Tier 1 and Tier 2 public libraries must have a current (NO OLDER THAN 1/31/04) set of by-laws (Measure #7) and policies (Measure #8) on file at the State Library. A copy of the Library Ordinance will not meet Measure #7.  For sample bylaws, see the Iowa Library Trustee’s Handbook, 2003, page 97.  These documents are due 1/31/07 (request an extension if needed). One copy of the information should also be mailed to the Library Service Area.

Contact Gerry Rowland, State Library, if you have questions.
