Title: Civic librarianship
Description: "After decades of cultural warfare and political gridlock, America is beginning to find its balance, thanks to a major cultural shift toward strengthening communities and other endangered social structures. Civil Librarianship explores the ideas of this new community movement and shows how these ideas can transform public libraries by offering a renewed sense of purpose and powerful new strategies for development. It reaffirms the traditional public library mission of providing education for a democratic society while offering a new vision for the future of the institution."--Jacket.
