QUALITY PRINCIPLES AND INDICATORS - Guide and Assessment Chart -

The enclosed Guide to Using the Summer @ Your Library Quality Principles and Indicators, and the companion assessment worksheet, have been designed to help librarians implement the Quality Principles and Indicators to develop and maintain quality summer programs, evaluate summer programming, and identify areas for improvement.

As 2017 is the pilot year of this Guide, project staff invites librarians to test it out during their summer planning process and to provide feedback and suggestions on how it can be improved to be the most effective. Please send comments to Shana Sojoyner, Summer @ Your Library Program Manager (Evaluation), at ssojoyner@cla-net.org.

California’s quality principles and indicators have been developed to showcase summer programming in California’s public libraries and to help library staff demonstrate and maintain the value and impact of their programs.
