Book Review: The Library Innovation Toolkit: Ideas, Strategies, and Programs

Abstract

The Library Innovation Toolkit: Strategies, and Programs itself takes an innovative approach to the selection and exhibition of the content it presents. This deft representation of what it means to think broadly about the role and aims of the contemporary library is spread across six parts and sixteen individual chapters, with a subtle microcosm/macrocosm theme ultimately defining the book’s structure. Indeed, in the introductory chapter, editors Molaro and White point out that “[I]nnovation is not a process as much as it is an organizational (or departmental) culture, mind-set, or worldview” (xv).
