In 1987, the Regent's Advisory Council on Libraries and the New York State Library Division of Library Development appointed a Committee on Minimum Library Standards for New York State to review and revise existing standards for public libraries, taking into consideration the Board of Regents policy on libraries. This report explains the committee's 10 minimum standards for each chartered and registered public and association library in New York State, which recommend that each library have: (1) written bylaws outlining the responsibilities of the library board of trustees; (2) a long-range plan of service and annual reports; (3) board-approved operations policies; (4) an annual budget available to funding agencies; (5) a New York State certified library director; (6) an up-to-date library collection to meet community needs; (7) a specified number of hours to be open weekly; (8) a facility to meet the community's needs; (9) equipment to facilitate access to information; and (10) printed materials available to users about the library's services. The report also outlines the implementation process for the standards, and an outline of the work done by the committee since March 1987. Appendixes address bylaws, public library roles, personnel policies, and existing regulations related to standards for public libraries. (12 references) (SD)
