libraries. Regardless of whether the reader is currently a director
or senior administrator, or wishing to be in such a role later,
this information will help prepare them for a successful career in
public library administration. The 15 chapters in this text provide
basic overviews of key subjects like policies, budgeting, general
planning, and facility management. Contains helpful, real-world

city's General Fund and Capital Fund budgets, or how to use a city
council agenda to your advantage
