Review
"This is a book for all those who work with children, who need to understand better the stakes involved: the pressures on children and on libraries in a changing world. Library directors would benefit from Walter's conceptualization of the child of the future as well as current best practice... [A] radical text, one that we need as we ponder the great divide between the lives of children and libraries. It is also a clear, cogent text, one that stirs thinking (the author's intention). Finally this book is a reflective text that reminds us of why we drop pebbles in the deep woods."
"A pivotal book for people who work with/for children in public libraries... This is an excellent resource to inspire the minds of everyone interested in library services to young people in the 21st century."
..".a well-researched, carefully cited book illustrating the past, the present and the possible future of libraries and children."
..".a good overview of the essence of children's librarianship and could provide a starting point for conference workshops and discussion about the role of children's librarians."
