The Springfield Township library was commended March 14 by State Representative John Stakoe for completing the Essential Level of the Library of Michigan’s Quality Services Audit Checklist.
‘Library Director Cathy Forst and all the staff at Springfield have done a wonderful job of making sure the patrons get the most out of their library experience,? said Stakoe in a press release.
In order to complete the Essential Level, the library implemented a number of services to increase usefulness and convenience.
‘We are glad we are able to offer the essential services. We feel these are things that we can improve on too? (completing the level) was a good measuring tool,? said Library Director Cathy Forst.
‘It felt good, like we had accomplished something. I appreciate (Stakoe) acknowledging it,? she added.
According to Forst, completing the process involved many basic steps like hours of operation requirements and handicap accessibility. She explained there are two more levels she would like the library to reach in the future.
