Recenzii
"Features programs with practical, affordable, and creative digital experiences plus a few real-world adventures in the mix ... This digitally oriented resource mostly benefits public librarians seeking to fill out community calendar activities on six- to twelve-month deadlines but will assist all types of libraries seeking clever programming to deliver in cyberspace. Recommended for professional collections in public libraries and programming librarians in schools or academic settings."
— Booklist
"Virtual delivery of programs, given a great boost by COVID, will be a continuing focus of libraries as they support their communities and seek to engage new groups. This book is recommended as a source of ideas for program content and means of delivery, and as a record of innovative responses by libraries during a global crisis."
