Library Programs and Services: The Fundamentals is a must-read for librarians. The authors provide a comprehensive and insightful overview of the various programs and services offered by libraries, and the book is filled with practical tips and best practices for implementing them effectively. The book offers a deep understanding of the current challenges and opportunities that librarians are facing and how to navigate them. The writing is clear and concise, making it easy to understand even for those new to the field, and the authors provide a solid foundation for librarians to understand the library landscape and build successful and impactful library programs. The book is also a valuable resource for library students and professionals looking to improve their understanding of libraries and their services. * Russell Michalak, Director of Library and Archives at Goldey-Beacom College, USA * Brimming with practical advice, concise overviews of key concepts, and engaging anecdotes, this new edition of Library Programs and Services: The Fundamentals is essential reading for LIS students, public services staff, and library administrators alike. In addition to chapters on the core functional areas of access, reference, instruction, collections, and programming, there are several focused on essential topics including staffing, security, technology, finance, and legal issues. The former deftly summarize common practices and emerging trends while also advocating for compassionate and inclusive policy. The latter identify crucial issues that administrators, and in some cases, employees, must be prepared to address. With its breadth of coverage and warm style, this volume is invaluable to all who strive to provide high-quality services to library users. * Jason Coleman, Academic Services Librarian, K-State Libraries, USA *
