HOUSTON, TX--Library Standards Meeting

[Jeanette Carolyn Larson <jlarson@TENET.EDU>]

You are invited to attend a meeting about school library standards
hosted by Stafford Independent School District.  The meeting will be
conducted by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for the
purpose of soliciting input for the new library standards being
developed.

When:   Tuesday, April 16, 1996
Time:   3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Where:  Stafford Municipal Civic Center
        1415 Staffordshire
        Stafford
        (Stafford is west of Houston on Highway 59; for directions
        contact Jeanette Larson).

Please share this with all interested persons.
Parents, administrators, and librarians are encouraged to bring
their views. Meetings like this will be held all over the state.
It is important for schools in the area to have input before
the standards are written.  Come prepared to share with Jeanette
Larson, Texas State Library, Library Development Division, your
views of what the new standards should contain.

The legislature transferred library standards from the Texas
Education Agency to the Texas State Library and Archives
Commission, in consultation with the State Board of Education.
After receiving input from the public, the new standards will
be written.  Public input will be solicited again before the
final version is submitted to the State Board of Education.
