The State Library of Iowa has announced that the Knoxville Public Library has met the conditions for state accreditation.
Achieving accreditation requires a significant, ongoing local commitment to high quality library services. The Library has been recognized for its efforts in all areas of library operations including governance and funding, staffing, library collection, services, public relations, access, and facilities. The accreditation is valid through June 30, 2020. Librarian Roslin Thomson says the library is proud to provide a high standard of quality to the community. Accredited libraries receive a higher rate of compensation through the State Library’s Enrich Iowa program. Of Iowa’s 544 public libraries, 349 – including the Knoxville Public Library – are accredited.
