A blog for librarians in all smaller libraries, not just for one-person or solo librarians--all kinds of libraries, anywhere in the world. Management information, links, and marketing tips that you can use right now.
The Friends of the SF Public Library released a study showing that the library returns $3.34 for every $1.00 spent. The study was conducted by Berk and Associates. This relatively modest ROI is quite credible. For more information, see the press release.
