Iowa Library Association develops public library guidelines
The Iowa Library Association is formulating minimum standards for Iowa public libraries but has taken no final action. Nelle Neafie says confusion rose among staff and trustees who thought guidelines were in effect. Delegates endorsed the concept but not the document and urged an ad hoc committee to refine the guidelines with input from libraries of all sizes. The committee will report later, and staff at all libraries may propose changes. On this date in 1913 Burt Lancaster was born.
