Bandera County libraries receive state accreditation, despite challenges created by the pandemic
Alison Harbour of Medina Library, Dianna Landes of Lakehills Library and Mauri Guillén Fagan of Bandera Public Library are pleased to announce that each library has received Accreditation from the State Library of Texas for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
Accreditation is achieved by demonstrating the library has met the requirements laid out by the State of Texas of services and resources provided to the population we serve.
Each year, every library submits an annual report that details every aspect of the services provided to our patrons and the public. This includes books checked out, programs, business services, rentals of equipment and meeting spaces and more.
Receiving accreditation from the State Library ensures the library can participate in statewide programs such as access to the TexShare databases, the TexShare card program, the Inter-library loan program, and makes the library eligible to receive state and federal grant money.
Thank you to our patrons who use our libraries and for helping us make sure the libraries of Bandera County can continue to serve our communities.
