This comprehensive plan for library development in Vermont over a five year period is the result of extensive consultation with professionals in the field, the State Advisory Council on Libraries, and the U.S. Department of Education. Focusing on the role of the Vermont Department of Libraries as the implementor of the long range program of improvement under the auspices of the Library Services and Construction Act (LSCA), this report has been divided into three categories--Titles I, II, and III. Title I includes 12 aspects: (1) public library areas without service; (2) public library areas with inadequate service; (3) services to the disadvantaged (culturally, socially, economically, and educationally); (4) service to the visually and physically handicapped; (5) institutional program; (6) strengthening the state administrative agency; (7) services to the elderly; (8) literacy programs; (9) community information and referral centers; (10) services to the limited English speaking; (11) LSCA administration; and (12) services to urban libraries. Information provided on Title II (facilities) and Title III (interlibrary cooperation and resource sharing) activities include the assessed need, goals and objectives, policies, procedures, priorities, criteria for evaluating project proposals, and evaluation procedures for funded projects. Minimum standards for Vermont public libraries are appended. (CGD)
