Index
"With advice on identifying the needs and desires of the communities, attracting the community, and more, Inside Outside, and Online is of strong recommendation for any librarian who wants their library and their community to be successful."
--The Midwest Book Review
"A must have for any library wanting to reach out beyond their present users."
--ARBA Online
"[Hill] adroitly draws on scholarship and research, examples and interviews, to create a plan for libraries that is as sharply focused as it is quietly urgent. By succeeding even more as community builders, libraries, Hill believes, can become sustainable—meaning that the public can't live without them. Public librarians would do well to use this book as a roadmap, at least for the next decade."
--Library Journal
"Since all community groups can have something to call their own in their library this book is for all types of libraries and comes highly recommended from this reviewer who does not plan on putting it on the book shelf anytime soon."
--Internet Reference Services Quarterly
"Gives a snapshot of where libraries are and how we can get them to where we want to be ... Hill's book provides practical information for directors, marketers, programming staff, and board members who want to revive their library."
--Public Libraries
