*TIER 1 AND TIER 2 LIBRARY ALERTS*

If you are currently a Tier 1 or 2 library, the State Library will soon be announcing a modification of the requirement that libraries have policies and by-laws. Beginning in the next two months you will also be required to have those documents on file at the State Library. If you need help with any of this documentation, please let us know. We are offering a Policy class at the end of November (November 30) in Burlington if you’re interested in adding or revising your policies. An earlier session was cancelled, but can be rescheduled if there’s enough interest. For the minimum policies required, consult http://www.ilsa.lib.ia.us/Tier%201Ed4.htm and look at Standard 8. More information on the filing and formats will be coming from the State Library.
