Her book shares such successful efforts as Poetry programs in the public libraryGatherings for local authors at the community collegeCreative writing in middle schoolsMulticultural arts presentations at the university libraryInitiatives to fight illiteracy through the artsThe amazing creativity and resourcefulness found in each example provide practical models which can be adapted to any library environment, inspiring librarians looking for unique programming ideas.
