Kansas Public Library Youth Services Guideline
As librarians, whether living in urban or rural communities, we recognize and value children and young adults and actively advocate library services to youth in our libraries, communities, and state. The public library is one of the few places where children’s needs are considered to be of equal value to those of adults. These guidelines underscore the importance of recognizing the library’s commitment to serve youth.

Designing a Fine Library, 2006
This publication is intended to help trustees and staff of smaller public libraries plan for building programs.
This document places a heavy emphasis on early planning for building projects, since many costly mistakes result from inadequate planning. It also contains an outline of planning, construction monitoring, moving and evaluation.
A building program is one of the most fascinating, yet stressful, projects that a library board and staff can undertake.
A beautiful, effective public library is a source of pride for the entire community. It enhances the quality of life for the community. It is a surprisingly important tool for economic development for the community.
