Recently, the Department of Public Instruction
released the Fifth Edition of the Wisconsin Public
Library Standards. Consequently, I've updated the Wisconsin Public Library Standards page on OWLSweb. As in the past, the Standards include checklists of recommended minimum standards and quantitative standards that have been assembled
from annual report data submitted by Wisconsin public libraries.
To aid libraries in using the quantitative standards I've developed an Excel workbook [xls] that any library can use to generate reports that include service targets at all four levels of effort. These recommended service levels can be used in the development of local library plans. I've also updated the service population estimates for all OWLS member libraries.

Four 2009 member library circulation reports have been posted on the OWLS Statistics page.
- 2009 Circulation Summary - This report includes summary county, crossover, and intersystem circulation numbers for member libraries.
- 2009 Crossover Borrowing Summary - This report gives the number of items circulated by member libraries to residents of other member library communities.
- 2009 Outagamie County Circulation Matrix - This report gives the number of items circulated to residents of each town or village in Outagamie County that doesn't operate a library.
- 2009 Waupaca County Circulation Matrix - This report gives the number of items circulated to residents of each town or village in Waupaca County that doesn't operate a library.
