Complete all segments of page one of the Request for Waiver form, except the signatures and date, online. Save and/or print a completed form before creating another form online. Before acquiring signatures and date of signatures, use a photocopy machine to make the two separate pages into a single two-sided copy of the form. Use the two-sided copy for signatures with date and send it to OLIS.
Use a new form for each Standard for which you request a waiver. Standards 1, 15 and 16 require the signatures of the library directors and chairpersons of the library boards from each library in the municipality. Submit only one Request for Waiver form for each standard whether there is more than one public library in a municipality or only one library in a municipality.
