This award is “given to State Library administrative agencies that have excelled in the completeness, promptness and high quality of the local public library data that they collect, edit and submit annually to IMLS by the designated award due date.”

The WSL collects and maintains library and community statistics for libraries to use for comparison, management, and advocacy. Learn more about what data services we offer and take a look at our statistics webpage.
