Designed for local leaders, librarians, and school boards, it shows how to mobilize public support, understand the Library Law of 1903, and work with districts to create lasting library services. It also covers governance, volunteer effort, and the concrete processes that make library projects possible.

Practical procedures for setting up a district library, appointing a commission, and handling finances and taxation.
Charging systems, reader registration, fines, and cataloging practices to keep libraries efficient.
