McCook Model for Librarians and Building Community

McCook Model for Librarians and Building Community

A Place at the Table provides a model for community building in which library workers

dedicate time, resources, and commitment at the policy level to guarantee that community building is a high priority and that the nation’s community builders include librarians as valued partners in every enterprise. Power dies the moment action ceases.
There must be a librarian at every table.
