Recenzii

Administrators, department heads, and professional development coordinators will find this book to be a useful teaching 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.
