Reviews

A welcome addition ... This book is particularly relevant in light of the current pandemic and social unrest, a time where more library users may be experiencing trauma. The information provided will help libraries improve customer service for all that use and experience their space. The layout of the book is easy to follow, and the sections and chapters are well organized. The author showcases several libraries that have implemented changes to make their spaces more inclusive for all. -- Serials Review At its core, the trauma-informed service model is user-centered: it attempts to identify with patrons and to imagine the experience of utilizing the library from their point of view ... Tolley provides clear and succinct chapters that are full of concrete information about not only what needs to be addressed as libraries move toward a trauma-informed approach but also how to accomplish such a complex task. -- Public Services Quarterly Very thought provoking. While specifically aimed at public librarians, this information applies equally to other library settings. -- Journal of Hospital Librarianship
