This specifically includes provision of legal access to public library services for all residents of the system area. It also includes improvement of library services through development of interlibrary loan and reference referrals, in-service training programs and professional advisory services, increased cooperation between all types of libraries in the system, maximum use of library resources of the area, and access to the total library resources of the state.
