Public Library Quarterly

Public Library Quarterly (PLQ) is addressed to leaders-directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends-who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century.

In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines:

• Best practices and models to improve service
• Management case studies-with results and failures
• Library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development
• Studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes
• Marketing and fund-raising tools that work
• Budget and financial analysis tools and tips
• How new technology works in practice
• Innovative, high-quality programs for children
