Lopez Island Library Awarded 3 stars In LJ ranking

Congratulations are due to Lopez Island Public Library for being the only library from Washington state recognized by Library Journal as a "Star Library". LJ says being a Star Library isn't about money, but about:

"... what libraries deliver to their users with the money they have, based not only on circulation and visits, two typically standard measurements, but on program attendance and public Internet computer use, two statistics that more clearly define libraries' increasingly crucial role in their communities, especially in these tough economic times."

In the Library Journal's November 15th edition Lopez Island was given three stars. Using 2007 IMLS data Library Journal selected 258 libraries for recognition out of the 7,268 libraries in the IMLS survey.

Kudos to Lopez Island Library!
