Summary
After committee review and staff revisions, the Library Board unanimously approved the 2025 Collections Development Statement and the board directed staff to proceed with implementation and related collection stewardship work.
The Library of Virginia board voted unanimously April 11 to approve an updated Collections Development Statement developed after multiple rounds of staff revisions and committee review.
