Libraries are community connectors, places where people come together, think together, and learn together. Libraries support and nurture strong, resilient communities. Day in and day out, the library workers at these institutions are doing much more than ensuring equal and equitable access to information; and their impact stretches far beyond the books, programs, and services they facilitate. Featuring contributions from such library leaders as Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, the late Nicolette Sosulski, and Erica Freudenberger, this collection of inspiring first-hand stories from across libraryland spotlights the countless ways in which library staff are making a difference for their communities. A sharing of the hearts, minds, and spirits of library staff from across the country, the uplifting personal narratives in this book include
- when a routine reference query inspired a librarian to reach out to a senior patron;
- how a public library's annual Diwali celebration has strengthened the social fabric of the surrounding community;
- the story of a library that burned down, was hit by a hurricane, got sued twice, and yet still reemerged stronger than ever;
- how the team at the Fayetteville Free Library (FFL) of New York has strategically nurtured a culture of innovation by integrating Syracuse University students into the staff, holding technology "open houses," and developing other initiatives; and
- the intervention of a public library staff member that helped a mother keep her son enrolled in school and receive his diploma.
Library workers change and save lives every day, and this book is a powerful and nourishing reminder of exactly why libraries are essential.
