The public library is a valuable resource. It offers so much more than just books, thought these are of great value in themselves. The book “The Public Library: A Public and Private Resource” discusses all of the resources that the library offers.
“The Public Library” covers what it takes to obtain a library card and how that library card can be used to make use of the library’s services. The card catalog section discuses how to use the card catalog and its transition from a physical collection of cards to a computer database which can be accessed on line, allowing books and other resources to be checked out online with the patron’s library card.
Other chapters dicuss the Dewey Decimal System, placing book holds, the Library’s reference section , E-Books, the Library’s Vertical Files, and the classes offered by the Library. This book can be read cover-to-cover or by picking and choosing the chapters that have the needed information. There is no wrong way to use this book.
“The Public Library: A Public and Private Resource” is available from Amazon in print and Kindle formats.
