Attempts have been made to modernise public libraries without real success - what they require is a radical transformation of strategy, structure and culture so that they can meet the needs of their diverse communities. Offering a synthesis of skills, experience and knowledge, research and cutting edge good practice, this indispensable guide offers a step-by-step approach to creating a fully inclusive public library service. Drawing on current government thinking and extensive research, this guide will help you to put the needs of the community at the very centre of your public library service.
