Librarians must know how to provide essential programs and services
that make a difference for the people they serve if libraries are
going to survive. It is no longer realistic for librarians to rely
on the idea that "people love libraries, so they will fund them" in
this economic climate. Librarians must be able to prove that their
programs and services are making a difference if they want to
compete for funding in their municipalities, schools, corporations,
colleges, institutions and organizations. Meeting Community Needs:
A Practical Guide for Librarians presents a process that librarians
of all kinds can use to provide effective programs and services.
This requires being in close touch with your community, whether it
is a city, town, or village; college or university; public or
private school; or corporation, hospital, or business.
Understanding what information people need, how they access it, how
they use it, how it benefits them, and how they share it is
paramount. The process in this book covers community assessment,
designing programs and services to meet needs, implementing and
evaluating programs and services, and funding options. Providing
library programs and services for your entire population - not just
library users - is more important than ever. Librarians working in
libraries of all types must provide programs and services that meet
community needs if libraries are to stay relevant and survive in
the long run. Librarians must be able to measure their success and
demonstrate the library's worth with verifiable proof if they are
going to be competitive for available funds in the future. Meeting
Community Needs will make you take a serious look at how well your
library programs and services are meeting your community's needs,
and it will show you the way to success.
