Overview

The policies that make up children's services must be guided by imagination and insight. Mae Benne covers fully the organizational policies and patterns that accompany professional services. Her discussion of purely administrative and organizational matters is comprehensive - one that recognizes client need as motivating organizational possibilities. She translates theory before organizations meet children's needs, children's librarians must recognize them into practice. As a management tool, the text falls into four major areas; organizational patterns, design of services, collection development, and facilities. The treatment is broad, including such diverse topics as planning facilities, working in rural systems, and assuming responsibilities of membership in a professional association. Appendices include examples of budgeting and program forms, and annotated bibliographies of aids for selection, reference services, and programming services to special audiences.
