The Texas Library System is comprised of ten regional library systems
across the state funded by contract with the Texas State Library. Nearly
every public library in the state is a member of the system. Member libraries
receive many benefits from the system including consulting and continuing
education services, and support for such projects as literacy, English
as a Second Language and automation.

County Librarian Certification
On May 25, 2007, Governor Rick Perry signed into law S.B. 913, the sunset
legislation that reestablishes the Texas State Library and Archives Commission
for twelve years, through 2019. One of the key provisions of S.B. 913
eliminates the agency's certification of county librarians. The State
Library no longer has the authority to certify county librarians and we
are no longer issuing certificates effective immediately. If you have
any questions please contact Deborah Littrell, deborah.littrell@tsl.state.tx.us,
