5 Amigos members named LJ’s Star Libraries

Amigos congratulates five Amigos member libraries included in the list of America's Star Libraries for 2015 by the Library Journal. From Missouri are the Carrollton Public Library, Kansas City Public Library, North Kansas City Public Library, and St. Louis County Library. From Arizona is the Sedona Public Library.

The list of 261 public libraries is compiled from the results of the eighth edition of the Library Journal Index of Public Library Service, sponsored by Baker & Taylor's Bibliostat.

The LJ Index is a measurement tool that compares U.S. public libraries with their spending peers based on four per-capita output measures: circulation, library visits, program attendance, and public Internet computer use. Scores on the LJ Index are produced by measuring the relationships between each library’s statistics and the averages for its expenditure category.
