-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Wanner Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 4:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Marilyn Johnson Subject: [slm] Long range plan due dates The due date for the new required Long Range Plans has been a point of confusion at some recent Small Library Management training sessions. The completed Long Range Plan for a given individual library must be approved by the library's governing body by the end of *that library's* 2006 fiscal year. For example, if a library has a fiscal year that runs from July 1 through June 30, the current Long Range Plan must be approved by June 30, 2006. On the other hand, if a library has a fiscal year that runs from January 1 through December 31, the current Long Range Plan must be approved by December 31, 2006. Relevant text of System membership rule: (6) By local fiscal year 2006, a public library shall have a long-range plan that is approved by its governing board. This plan must be reviewed and updated at least every five years and must include a collection development element. Library systems shall provide public libraries with the consulting and continuing education services necessary to develop these plans as part of the services provided under Section 1.47 of this part.
