The Main Street facility in downtown Plymouth has been named a Star Library in the 15th Edition of Library Journal Index of Public Library Service. The Index rates U.S. public libraries based on selected per capita output measures, officials noted. The 2022 scores and ratings are based on fiscal year 20 data from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Public Library Survey. For 2022-based on 2020 data-5,359 public libraries received LJ Index scores, and 258 of them received Stars.
Only 20 Michigan libraries have ever received Star designations in the index and Plymouth District Library is one of only 12 libraries in Michigan to make the list for 2022.
"In the world of libraries, Star designation from Library Journal is an important marker that demonstrates the value that our community places on public library service," said Shauna Anderson, library director. "Timing for this news is especially exciting as the library enters its 100th year serving the Plymouth community."
