"PLQ—Focused on Change in Public Libraries

Public Libraries Quarterly is addressed to leaders—directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends—who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century.

In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines:

• best practices and models to improve service
• management case studies—with results and failures
• library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development
• studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes
• marketing and fund-raising tools that work
• budget and financial analysis tools and tips
• how new technology works in practice
• innovative, high-quality programs for children"
