Reviews
"This book is effective in fostering our thinking
about the stories we use and how these
conversations can build trust in an authentic
manner. I recommend this book as a self-development
tool for library managers and people
in leadership roles within libraries. The book will
be of particular interest to library staff involved in change management, building projects and
community development."
--The Australian Library Journal
