What does it take to have a great library? The right leader? A
great team? A wonderful facility? The best services? How can you
transform your library to better meet the demands of tomorrow? This
author visited 10 exemplary public libraries in the United States
and Great Britain to find answers to these questions. She
interviewed directors and key staff, researched archives, and
observed facilities, operations, and interactions. The results of
her explorations are contained in this volume, providing readers
with nuts and bolts information on public library management along
with general insights into what libraries have been, are today, and
can be in the future. Each chapter begins with background
information on the library's location, community, and facilities;
as well as its mission statement, history, and organization.
Interviews (or, in some cases, summaries of interviews) with
directors and key staff follow. Chapters close with the author's
observations about distinguishing features of the library; and
those comments are summarized in a final chapter-"The Public
Library: A Tradition of Service, A Future of Performance." A
selected bibliography, historical timelines, and black and white
photos of each of the libraries help make this a unique and
treasured resource for library administrators and staff, as well as
faculty and students in courses on public libraries, library
history, management, and facilities. It will be of interest to
anyone interested in library history, library management, and the
future of public libraries.
