Nebraska Public Library Accreditation and Community Needs Workshop 2019
Channel: Nebraska Library Commission
Date: 2019-05-31

Recorded on May 30, 2019.

What is Nebraska Public Library Accreditation? What are the benefits of accreditation? How does my library become accredited? What’s a Community Needs Response Plan? Why does my library need one?

The purpose of Nebraska Public Library Accreditation is to encourage excellent library service in Nebraska communities. The guidelines used to evaluate libraries and their services are community-based, so libraries need to know their communities' needs in order to provide appropriate library services that meet those unique needs. That's where Community Needs Response Planning comes in!

In this workshop, Christa Porter, NLC's Library Development Director, will guide you through Community Needs Response Planning and applying for Public Library Accreditation. Public Library Directors, Staff, and Library Board Members are encouraged to attend.
