3 LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES Vision Statement The Library Development Services section, acting as the State Library Agency for the Minnesota Department of Education, leads in developing, planning, and implementing excellent library and information services statewide. The State Library Agency ensures that Minnesota libraries and their communities have access to the present and future information resources they need through partnerships with public information and cultural institutions. Mission Statement To provide the library services and information resources needed by Minnesotans, the Minnesota State Library Agency will: Administer statewide library services; Develop and implement standards of accountability of state and federal funding recipients; Develop and implement statewide and regional library services, initiatives and programs; Implement statewide planning and evaluation for library development for all types of libraries; Develop and implement standards for libraries; Provide leadership for career and education opportunities; Certify library eligibility for state and federal assistance; Advise the Governor, the Legislature and regional and local governing bodies on library-related issues; Facilitate partnerships between libraries and other agencies; Minnesotans deserve equitable access to library services and information resources regardless of geographic location, economic or social status, cultural background, age, or level of intellectual or physical ability. The library network of trustees, friends, librarians, administrators, and their communities must work together to voice their concerns and support for equitable access to their funding entities, including their congressional, legislative, county, and city officials. This collaboration will help to foster a more informed citizenry, a stronger democracy, and more economically viable communities statewide. Library Development Services and School Technology operates the Minnesota Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, located in Faribault..

7 NOTES This publication resumes the Minnesota Public Library Statistics after a year s suspension. The publication has some modifications. 1. The survey and the definitions for the data elements are available on-line at 2. Various Measures By Public Library Size has been eliminated. Minnesota public libraries have the ability to do peer analysis through the state licensing of Bibliostat Suite, produced by Informata. Funding for the license comes from a Library Services and Technology Act grant. s who would like to do peer comparison of Minnesota public libraries have several options. The data is now available as Excel files on the Library Development Services and School Technology website, Also, upon every request, every Minnesota public library outlet and Library Development Services can produce comparison charts and tables from Bibliostat Connect, a component of Bibliostat Suite. 3. The separate tables Public Library Buildings By Square Footage Construction Year, Population Served, and Original Building Function and Internal Matters: Unions, Foundations, Friends Group have been eliminated. Individuals who want the information these tables provided should contact Libraries and School Technologies. 4. The Maintenance of Effort information for each public library regional system was not available at time of printing. When the information is available, it will be provided in a revised issue of Minnesota Public Library Statistics. 5. The Minnesota Public Library Directory is now a separate publication revised quarterly. It can be obtained as a PDF file at 6. Populations served by individual libraries are estimated by the library directors, unlike the 2000 Minnesota Public Library Statistics populations. The 2002 publication assigned each township and city to specific libraries. The populations assigned to the regional public library systems are based by LDS staff on 2002 county population estimates of the State Demographic Center, Minnesota Department of Administration, Because of overlapping estimates by directors, it is possible for the sum of populations served by the individual libraries to exceed the population of a regional public library system designated population. 7. A new table, MINNESOTA STATE RANKINGS provides data that shows how Minnesota public libraries as a whole compare to public libraries in other states. The data is excerpted from State Rank Order Tables for 2001 compiled by the National Center of Education Statistics (NCES). The complete report is available on-line at 8. Tables and data not available through this publication or the Excel spreadsheet posted on the Libraries and School Technologies website may be requested by phoning Officially, as documented on 2002 Statistical Highlights, page I, Minnesota has 142 public libraries. The Metropolitan Library Service Agency (MELSA) and Traverse des Sioux Library System do not provide any public library services. However, these two regional public library systems administrative services and staff are included in the remainder of this compilation. Their omission would lead to lower statistics that do not reflect that actual public library numbers. 1
