Creating a Person-Centered Library will help librarians build or contribute to library services that will best address patrons' psychosocial needs. The authors, experienced in both library and social work, begin by providing an overview of patrons' psychosocial needs, structural and societal reasons for the shift in these needs, and how these changes impact libraries and library staff. Chapters focus on best practices for libraries providing person-centered services and share lessons learned, including information about special considerations for certain patron populations that might be served by individual libraries. The book concludes with information about how library organizations can support public library staff. Librarians and library students who are concerned about both patrons and library staff will find the practical advice in this book invaluable"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 027.473 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList
