The ninth edition of this popular overview of the various programs and services offered by libraries offers best practice and useful tips for implementing them effectively.

Building on the strong foundation of the previous editions, award-winning author G. Edward Evans returns with a new co-author, Stacey Greenwell, for this update that combines their signature style of textbook readability, informality, and sometimes humour, as well as their knack for balancing foundational topics and new trends.
