Re: [Michlib-l] Class 5 Library Staffing
by Maria Williams 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Good Afternoon- I receive the digest so I can't reply all to specific messages, but in response to Christopher McCollum's inquiry yesterday about staffing levels at Class 5 libraries I wanted to share that the IMLS Library Search & Compare tool is quite handy for answering questions like this. https://www.imls.gov/search-compare For those who have never used it before, give it a spin. The most recent data is from 2022 but it's still very helpful. Stay warm! Maria -- Maria Williams Assistant Director Northville District Library 212 W.
