Librarians make a world of difference in people's lives. They empower people by offering resources, services, programs and training to expand their knowledge.
Librarians are familiar with a wide variety of information sources. They assist people in finding and evaluating information and using it effectively to meet their personal and professional needs.
Librarians also manage staff; select library resources; develop Web sites; direct information programs and systems so that information is organized in a manner that meets people's needs.
Great library service does not happen without great librarians. Iowa Library Services provides these resources for and about librarians because we value the important work librarians do and have a deep respect for Iowa's dedicated librarians.
