    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This groundbreaking book explores the exciting realm of non-traditional programming in libraries, unlocking new possibilities for engagement, learning, and community building.

    Explore the evolving role of libraries as community hubs that go beyond traditional book lending and educational programs. This book highlights innovative and forward-thinking library programs that address emerging community needs, from digital literacy and re-entry services to mental health support and environmental sustainability initiatives. Drawing on real-world case studies, the book provides practical insights into how libraries can harness their unique resources to tackle the challenges faced by diverse and underserved populations.

    What sets Unlocking Possibilities in the Library: Programing for the Future apart is its focus on the innovative and non-traditional library programs that are reshaping the way libraries interact with their communities. It emphasizes that libraries are not just places for books, but vibrant spaces for community engagement and empowerment. The book takes a deep dive into the lessons learned from libraries across the nation that have implemented groundbreaking programs, offering both successes and challenges, and actionable strategies that other libraries can adopt.

    In addition to program implementation, Unlocking Possibilities in the Library delves into the crucial aspects of building community partnerships, ensuring inclusivity, and addressing systemic inequities. By bridging the gap between traditional services and innovative outreach, this book showcases how libraries can act as catalysts for positive social change.

    With its comprehensive exploration of non-traditional programming and focus on community impact, Unlocking Possibilities in the Library offers library professionals, administrators, and policymakers a resource for creating meaningful, forward-thinking programs that make libraries more relevant and accessible in today's diverse, rapidly evolving world.
