After looking at the documents such as the staffing summary, role descriptions, work study job descriptions and training manual I believe our library will meet the accreditation review on this standard. One thing seems clear to methat our professional staff are involved and knowledgable of the Helena community and are connected with the standards of the library profession. The staff and work study students create a clam atmosphere for patrons to participate in intellectual inquiry and personal growth.
