Summary:
This book examines the potential for a new community led service model in
public
libraries
. Using theoretical approaches to working with socially excluded community members, with a direct application of those approaches in Canadian
public
libraries
, the authors offer a powerful and persuasive case for adopting the community led approach in
libraries
worldwide. The book showcases good practice and outlines the challenges to community development work. With
public
libraries
facing budget cuts, this book offers an alternative way forward based on a community led approach to developing needs based library services. This book makes a unique contribution to
public
library thinking and policy, synthesising the outcomes of research and best practice at the cutting edge of library service delivery, and will be essential reading for all those researching and working in the
public
library sector. John Pateman has worked in UK
public
libraries
for over 30 years at all levels, including Head of Service in three local authorities. John has written a wide range of articles and books on
public
libraries
and social class, social exclusion and internationalism. John was the co-founder of Information for Social Change and he has worked closely with members of the Working Together Project in Canada. He is currently Chief Executive Officer for Thunder Bay
Public
Library Service in Ontario. Ken Williment has recently become a branch manager at Halifax
Public
Libraries
. Prior to this, he worked as a Community Development Manager at Halifax
Public
Libraries
, during and post Working Together. In this role, he worked closely with branch and service managers to integrate community-led approaches within library staff work. Ken writes on community-led approaches on the Social Justice Librarian blog and published the award winning article It takes a community to create a library. He has also published articles on integrating community led work into branches in
Public
Libraries
, and Asset Mapping in Partnership Journal.
