Everything from acquisitions to budgeting to circulation is covered in this practical guide --- you’ll also learn about promotion, assessment, and experiential learning opportunities

Bruno's book Gaming Programs for All Ages at the Library is not only a must have resource for anyone working in public libraries today, but it also manages to accomplish a key element of gaming within its pages....the book is fun!
