What Are the Core Services Offered by Public Libraries?

Help to Define the Unique Roles of Public Libraries Today and into the Future

Over 50 people attended an open meeting at the ALA Midwinter Conference in Seattle to discuss the draft service responses. The meeting attendees had many excellent suggestions and the service responses have been revised again to incorporate those suggestions. There are two significant changes in the service responses: a section on "Potential Partners" has been added to each of the service responses and a new service response, Celebrate Diversity: Cultural Awareness has been added.

The final draft of the service responses was available for comment until February 15, 2007. The service responses are currently being copy edited and prepared for publication and they will be available for purchase soon.  The publication will be announced on the PLA Web site.
