Download the current Kansas Public Library Standards (PDF)

The Kansas Public Library Standards are intended to help libraries measure their current level of library service, and to help them improve programs, collections and information access. The standards are also meant to be used as a planning tool for future development in Kansas public libraries.

The Kansas Public Library Standards contain goals for libraries that reflect high, but reasonable and attainable levels of library service, while recognizing the contributions that public libraries currently make to the lives of Kansas citizens and to the vitality of Kansas communities.
