Libraries for all!: how to start and run a basic library

The introduction to this manual focuses on specific issues that the community and the library founder(s) need to address before establishing a library. The second and third sections focus on establishing and managing a library. Each section is divided into several parts. There is a list of "action steps" at the end of each part summarizing what needs to be done at each stage of planning and running a library. At the back of this book, there is a Resource Guide listing programmes that can assist communities, library committees and librarians to carry out the action steps and manage their libraries. [author]
