About the contributors.
An anthology on small public libraries as centers of communities serving populations under 25,000 that make up most of the public library systems in the United States. While most public libraries do not have the resources to satisfy customer expectations for instant gratification, ultra-convenience, and state-of-the-art technologies, the authors of this book detail strategies and methods for providing top-notch customer service while moving beyond customer service to the creation of meaningful customer relationships. It reminds us that public libraries transform communities of every size.
