************************************************************************************************************************* Small is Beautiful!
Do you work in or patronize a public library serving 10,000 people or fewer? You know firsthand not only the limitations of the small community but also the benefits. Giving a preschool storyhour on Monday and a book review to the Golden Years Club on Tuesday…. Knowing not only your patrons but also all their relatives …. Being asked at the grocery store if you could deliver a couple of books on your way home…. Knowing that that same trip to the grocery will be observed by at least one person who wants to know why you’re out in the middle of the day.
What’s your perspective on any aspect of small public libraries? You are invited to share your thoughts with the readers of Public Libraries, the journal of the Public Library Association. Essays of 800-1100 words should be e-mailed by November 24 to the Perspectives co-editor.
Thank you for your consideration.
