Changing Standards

As you know, the Indiana Public Library Standards are scheduled for a possible revision this summer. Standards play a significant role for EI libraries’ participation eligibility and service expectation. We encourage you to take a look at the draft changes and provide comments for the hearing and review. A copy of the proposed updated rule and a changelog are provided on the Rulemaking Docket page of the Indiana State Library website.
