Standards and Accreditation FY07

Accreditation is based on the 4th edition of  "In Service to Iowa: Public Library Measures of Quality" published in 2004.  Public libraries that are not accredited or that have not filed a report in the past 3 years will be required to submit a new "Application/Report Form for Accreditation and Standards," due January 31, 2007.

The information provided in these reports will allow the State Library and the Library Service Areas to more accurately track the progress of libraries in meeting each of the 75 measures in "In Service to Iowa."

Accreditation Status for Public Libraries 

Libraries that want to renew accreditation, file for accreditation or keep their accreditation reports updated need to submit the "Application/Report Form for Accreditation and Standards" by January 31, 2007.  See the list of libraries that need to file either a report or an application under "Available Downloads".
