• On the Road with Outreach: Mobile Library Services edited by Jeannie Dilger-Hill and Erica MacCreaigh

FYI: " The first book of its kind in more than two decades, On the Road with Outreach: Mobile Library Services provides step-by-step guidance for those wishing to initiate or improve outreach services in their communities. The essays collected here come from some the the best-known movers and shakers in the mobile outreach field-all of them subject experts and active outreach practitioners. Focusing on the practicalities of establishing and maintaining service to various populations, the book covers everything from design, purchase, maintenance, and automation of bookmobiles to planning and promotion and serving specific populations. Anecdotes, as well as sample service agreements, contracts, applications, staff schedules, and other working documents enhance the text. This is a must-purchase for anyone who has, is planning, or is even considering an outreach program." -from the back cover
