America's Star Libraries

Ray Lyons & Keith Curry Lance -- Library Journal, 2/15/2009

LJ Index header type 3



Is Your Library a Star?
Library Journal’s new national rating of public libraries, the LJ Index of Public Library Service, identifies 256 "star" libraries. Created by Ray Lyons and Keith Curry Lance, it rates 7,115 public libraries. The top libraries in each group get five, four, or three Michelin guide-like stars. All included libraries, stars or not, can use their scores to learn from their peers and improve service to their communities.
