titleAbout the Feilds

There are two areas to fill out :  Focus Area and Service Area

Focus Area is for the geographic area serviced by the library–usually a city, town, county, state, or ZIP code. The following formats are supported:

  • Delta, UT
  • Broward County, FL
  • CT
  • 93203

Usually the library's Service Area and Focus Area are the same. In those cases you can leave Service Area empty.

Some libraries are expected to provide service to a region larger than their focus area. For example, the New York Public Library has a focus area covering three of the boroughs of New York City (The Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island), but its focus area covers the entire state of New York.

Best practice for most libraries is to use CITY, ST in Focus Area, and to leave Service Area empty.
