Booklist Review

Young has gathered significant papers describing the variety of functions inherent in library trusteeship. Contributors to the volume are distinguished librarians, and they discuss how changes in professional services during the past years have affected funding sources and responsibilities of both librarians and trustees. Specific issues addressed include the relationship between trustees and administrators, qualifications necessary to become a trustee, and the roles of trustees in labor disputes, planning, and public relations. Advocates from the community are vital to any library's well being, and this volume provides much-needed guidance on developing this crucial link between staff and patron. Essential reading for all library administrators. Bibliographical information is included in some of the chapters. No index. SKB.
