Sommario/riassunto

This collection of inspiring first-hand stories from across libraryland spotlights the ways library staff are making a difference in their communities. A sharing of hearts, minds, and spirits of library staff from across the country, the personal narratives in this book include: a routine reference query that inspired a librarian to reach out to a senior patron; a public library's annual Diwali celebration that strengthened the social fabric of the community; and many others.
