Transforming Libraries, Building Communities: The Community-Centered Library

By Kelley Rae Unger, Julie Biando Edwards, Melissa S. Rauseo, et al.

Book Overview

This book is for those moving their library beyond places to find information. Written by practicing public librarians and an academic librarian with an interest in public libraries, the book focuses on how public libraries can become more community centered and, by doing so, how they can transform both themselves and their communities. The authors argue that focusing on building community through innovative and responsive services and programs will be the best way for the public library to reposition itself in the years to come.
