Effectively servicing today's adult library users is already a pressing need, and will only become a larger priority as the nation's population ages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Services for Adults in the 21st Century\u003c\/i\u003e is for library science students interested in working with adults in public libraries. As the first text dedicated to adult library services to be published since 1991, this title has been sorely needed and much anticipated. This book will provide a model for training public librarians for the specific challenges of providing adult services. Part I provides a survey of the history and development of adult services. Part II addresses planning and tools for service development. Part III examines the different types of services for adults and best practices, while Part IV presents training methods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsie Okobi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1591587050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591587057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.17w x 0.65d","brand":"Elsie Okobi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068692885759,"sku":"9781591587057","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a493d693-4e1f-42b7-91ce-8ceba572fe9c.jpg?v=1685420460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/library-services-for-adults-in-elsie-okobi-9781591587057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
