The book takes a broad view of all aspects of library work with children, addressing the dramatic and ongoing changes in school and pubic libraries. This latest edition of a popular, proven resource focuses on practical ways to organize library services to children and the adults who care for them, and on expanding services from the building level to the greater community. Sections focus specifically on collections, planning services, managing personnel and budgets, and working with other community agencies. The book is written to serve as a textbook for courses in services to children and young adults, and is appropriate for short workshops and in-service training for library staff. Administrators and department heads will find it a useful tool for designing and updating library services.

Though it covers numerous topics related to children's services, it does so effectively and concisely, making this an excellent resource for any library that serves children. It could help a library prepare to offer children's services to get the ball rolling, but could also help libraries with these services to maintain and expand them. This title could also appear on the list of textbooks for classes discussing children's services. Whether for a small library or part of a larger library system, this is a must-have resource. * VOYA *
