  • Specific text to be added or removed: REMOVE: Member libraries must maintain certification from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners to remain in the network.   Done
  • Reason for the change: Not accurate. Membership in the SAILS Network is not dependent on MBLC certification. Other libraries in the Network can choose not to lend books to libraries that are de-certified, but those libraries still maintain membership in the Network and other benefits that go along with said membership such as centralized cataloging and access to electronic resources such as OverDrive. The article cited for this statement does not support it. It states only that as a result of the re-certification these libraries can again borrow materials from other member libraries, "The Norton Public Library was recertified by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners in December, allowing residents to regain their interlibrary loan privileges in the SAILS Library Network."
