Summary: Solid Overview of Public Libraries
Comment: I teach a course in public librarianship to graduate students in a large library school. I used much of this book as required reading for my students and found it very helpful in organizing the semester long class. It provides valuable information about numerous aspects of public libraries in a clear and concise manner. It is a helpful tool for not only library science students but also new librarians and experienced administrators.

Summary: A Helpful, Encouraging Manual for Operation
Comment: As the new director of a small but growing public library I have found this book very helpful. I go back to it time after time. Chapters cover everything from history of the public library and structures of library boards to director and board responsibilities and the day to day operations of a library.

I particularly appreciate the tone of the book and the short section on the new library director. There is a realistic and reassuring quality about it.

The copyright is 1994. There is a bit of out-of-date information, such as refering to WILSON LIBRARY BULLETIN. I am hoping for a new edition soon.
