As a fellow librarian and past president of ARSL, I immediately recognized the heart of this book-grounded in real communities, real challenges, and the kind of practical solutions we all wish we had a little sooner. Tyler Hahn brings both experience and authenticity to this guide for small and rural libraries, showing how to build partnerships that are thoughtful, sustainable, and truly achievable. This is the kind of resource you'll return to often-especially when you're trying to make one more thing work with limited time and staff (which is to say, always). An essential and genuinely useful handbook for librarians and anyone working alongside small libraries to strengthen their communities.

If you are new to libraries or have been involved for a while, you will find this handbook essential for your success in preserving and advocating for the relevance of your library. Hahn provides specific steps, examples, and guaranteed guidance for reaching out to your local community. I wish I had something like this when I started my career. By following the examples and steps he has laid out, you will enhance the vitality of your library. You can't go wrong with this handbook.
