Nebraska Library Commission Accredits Superior Public Library

Nebraska Library Commission Library Development Director Richard Miller recently announced the accreditation of public libraries across Nebraska. The application for Public Library Accreditation was developed for Nebraska public libraries in order to assist and support improvements in Nebraska public library services. The purpose of the accreditation process is to establish expectations for governance, services, and resources for public libraries. The anticipated outcome is that in public libraries that meet statewide guidelines, Nebraska citizens will have access to accurate, quality library and information services that meet community needs. Nebraska public libraries may apply for accreditation after providing assurance that they meet twelve minimum qualifications including having a certified library board and library director, local funding, an email address, and other minimum requirements. Accreditation also requires that the library use a community-based planning process to complete a strategic plan, to be approved by the Nebraska Library Commission.

Superior Public Library was awarded Silver Accreditation Level in recognition of exemplary library services and programs provided to the community of Superior, Nuckolls County. Vicki Perrie, Library Director said ” Being accredited is very important to us, and not all libraries are able to meet the requirements. Nebraska libraries that are accredited can apply for grants through the state, but it is also one of the requirements for getting state aid money each year”.

The Nebraska Library Commission congratulates public libraries as they move forward toward the realization of this vision for the future: “Affordable, reliable, progressive, and equitable library service for all Nebraskans regardless of their economic status and geographic location.” As the state library agency, the Nebraska Library Commission is an advocate for the library and information needs of all Nebraskans. The mission of the Library Commission is statewide promotion, development and coordination of library and information services, “bringing together people and information.”
