SRLAAW regularly engages in special projects and appoints committees to study issues of importance to public libraries in Wisconsin. In the future, all significant project or committee reports will be posted on this web site. Some older reports will also be included upon request of the SRLAAW membership.
Developing
a Unifying Vision for Library Services in Wisconsin: 2000-2001
This SRLAAW project explored strategies for improving state funding for
public library systems and resulted in recommendations for the improvement
of public library service.
Proposed
Public Library District Legislation: 1992 (PDF format)
In 1992 a committe of SRLAAW proposed that legislation be developed to
enable the formation of public library districts. Library district legislation
was not introduced at that time. At the August 23, 2001 meeting, SRLAAW
agreed to again explore the feasibility of public library district legislation.
Draft
Standards Report (PDF format)
SRLAAW established a standards subcommittee in the fall of 2001. The attached
report was for that committee's deliberations. At the committee's request,
it was updated to include per capita and mill rate data for each library.
The attached data
(in Excel for Windows format) are calculated from Wisconsin Library
Service Record information for 1999.
