Every library has “hidden” patrons: those library users whose presence is often taken for granted, yet who make up a significant portion of all patrons. Their growing numbers reflect the changing face of many communities, and this book shows public libraries how to reach these patrons despite tight budgets and reduced staff. Interweaving many inspiring success stories of how public librarians have responded to patron needs, and with scores of useful tips that can be tailored to meet the needs of any institution, this book addresses such underserved communities as
- Ex-Offenders
- Second generation caregivers
- Disconnected youth/adults
- The homeless, and other displaced library users
- GLBT populations
- Veterans/former military personnel
- Virtual patrons
- Seniors
- Low income households, and the unemployed and underemployed
- Immigrants/new English learners
- The physically or mentally disabled
Each chapter focuses on one of these groups, suggesting programs and services, while keeping streamlined budgets in mind.
