The Canton Public Library was recently awarded a certificate of completion for meeting the Essential Level requirements of the Quality Services Audit Checklist (QSAC) by the Library of Michigan.

QSAC has defined "essential services" — the basics of all library service — as relatively low-cost standards that every library can and should achieve. The Canton Public Library has demonstrated competence in seven categories including human resources, governance/administration, services, collection development, technology, facilities and equipment, and public relations/marketing.

In recognition of the QSAC award, State Senator Patrick Colbeck and State Representative Dian Slavens paid a special tribute to the Canton Public Library. Senator Colbeck presented a commendation to library director Eva Davis.
