From Idealism to Realism: Library Directors and Children's Services.

Anderson, Dorothy J.

Library Trends, v35 n3 p393-412 Win 1987

A review of changing attitudes of library directors toward children's services shows parallels between the rhetoric of 100 years ago and that of today. Library directors interviewed believe children's services are essential to public library survival, the library's critical outreach arm, and dependent on multitalented, politically astute children's librarians.
