The Kansas Public Library Handbook was first published in 1983, and after considerable changes in the Kansas Public Library landscape an updated edition was published in 1998. Again we are faced with considerable change since 1998, and so the Regional Library System Administrators and the State Librarian of Kansas felt it was time for an updated edition. This revised edition maintains the original intent; however we have changed some of the style and format from previous editions. The 2015 edition contains functionality to support a digital format by adding hyperlinks to Kansas Statutes, Regulations, Attorney General's Opinions, and other websites for more information on topics. Additionally, we have added links within the document to move the reader from the "Table of Contents" to the section desired, and from "See References" to the topic referenced. Sample forms and resolutions that are referenced in some of the topics have been placed in the "Appendix," but are hyperlinked for convenient access. This updated edition also contains an index at the end as an additional point of access.
