Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a new kind of public library service, created for rural communities historically deprived of access to libraries.

The authors discuss the challenges of bringing these services to rural areas, showcasing the successes and failures of several innovative programs that tested new service models, including book transportation, the training of volunteer librarians, and the creation of community book collections. These programs highlighted the importance of reading and access to information for rural communities, expanding their access to education and helping to break down the barriers that limited their opportunities.
