Nebraska Public Library Accreditation 2010

The Nebraska Library Commission recently mailed letters to 93 eligible Nebraska public libraries to initiate the process of public library accreditation. Libraries receiving these letters include already-accredited public libraries that are due for reaccreditation (50 libraries) and unaccredited public libraries that submitted their annual statistics to the Library Commission for the most recent collection (43 libraries). Public libraries are accredited for a three-year period if they meet required guidelines. Libraries may be accredited at one of three levels – Essential, Enhanced, or Excellent – depending on how many of the guidelines they are able to meet. Accreditation certificates will be mailed to libraries by October 4, 2010. To view the accreditation guidelines go to Nebraska Public Library Accreditation .
