An organized collection of budget saving methods, materials, and strategies, these tips are all tried-and-true examples of ways to stretch the media specialist's budget and time, and change even the drabbest library into an inviting oasis of learning. The Shoestring Library offers hope, incentive, and direction to librarians who lack everything but passion. The book is organized around 300 hints—more than 114 of which are green alternatives—for administering a library in tough times. The book is divided into two parts, Support Functions and Physical Plant. The support section investigates such topics as how to best use volunteers and how to get free materials for your library. The physical plant section, amply supplemented with dozens of photos, helps a librarian identify and fix problems with dismal walls, ceilings, windows, shelving, desks, seating, and lighting, proposing low-cost or no-cost solutions to all these woes. Instructions are practical and thorough, concentrating on reuse, re-purposing, and recycling, and each idea is reversible. For quick access, chapters sport distinctive icons; time-management tips, for example, are distinguished by an alarm clock. Designed for institutions from preschools through college, The Shoestring Library proves that there is no expiration date on learning.

When governments face financial difficulties, among the first departments to feel cutbacks are resource centers. Today, promoting libraries and the services they offer has become a necessity. Displaying that wonderful book with uninteresting cover will get it off the shelf and increase circulation; promoting the library informs users that there is more to the research than books. Barteluk shows the library worker in small to mid-size libraries how to turn out eye-catching, interest-raising displays. Using three-dimensional exhibits rather than bulletin boards, she focuses on the actual fabrication of exhibits. Liberal illustrations and photographs reinforce the philosophy that creating appealing library displays is easy, fun, and economical. The author explains why promotions are necessary and tells where to place the displays, when to put them up and when to take them down, what materials to use and where to find them, how to build and use a mannequin, how to draw when you think you can't, and how to use color. Readers will also find tips on using and creating brochures and handouts, building displays that can be used more than once, scrounging and using props and ideas, and, lastly, how to store everything for further use.

Instead, you can now implement or expand services while knowing how other libraries have met their user needs.

More than ever, libraries must seek taxpayer dollars to expand or even maintain their services. Even in the best financial times, persuading voters to back new taxes for libraries is difficult. It's best to get professional help, since the grassroots approach, on a shoestring budget, is increasingly unlikely to work. Written for library directors, staff, board members and Friends who want to know how to achieve victory with a ballot measure, this guide covers the entire process--from beginning steps, organization and fundraising to knowing and challenging the opposition. Advice is offered even on what to do if the campaign fails. This book will provide familiarity with both political concepts, like bonds and swing voters, and jargon, such as ELAW (Everybody loves a winner) and WIFM (What's in it for me?) and it's full of easy-to-follow advice and examples from actual campaigns. Learning politics and going into action can be fun--as well as beneficial to the library and the community. A list of sources provides further assistance.
