Library Safety Policies

The Measurements of Quality: Public Library Standards for Kansas, 1988 and the updates of 1992 and 1995 identify library service levels based on total service populations. The standard levels do not cover the libraries of reading clubs, book drops or those facilities which serve as access points for service but are not legally established. Standards for those libraries will be defined by the individual system plans for service.
