Booklist Review

Veteran library grant writer Maxwell lays out a step-by-step approach for getting libraries a seat at the grant table through collaborations with outside organizations. By volunteering their research skills to grant developers and becoming part of the grant-writing process, she advises, librarians can then divert some of the forthcoming funds to the library. The book provides a brief overview of the grant-development process, from finding potential partners to getting a foot in the door. Maxwell follows this with strategies for leveraging librarians' strengths into funding for the library, from the subtle (in-kind support, such as hosting, publicizing, or assessing grant activities) to the overt (volunteering to help spend encumbered grant funds). Maxwell's working title was The Librarian's Guerrilla Guide to Grants. This approach may not work for all librarians, but those who are willing to be tactfully pushy will find much useful information in this book.--Harmon, Lindsay Copyright 2010 Booklist
