The 2014 Minnesota Legislature directed the commissioner of the Department of Education to consult with people knowledgeable about state libraries and service delivery about ways to increase service delivery and collaboration between library governance systems.Over the past five months, the Libraries and Service Delivery Consultant Group reviewed options for changing library procedures and governance systems to ensure equitable and cost-effective access to library services statewide. The legislative charge also asked the group to consider ways to increase access to emerging electronic services.
A final report with recommendations was due to the Legislature by February 1, 2015, and is now available.
