ABSTRACT The librarian’s axiom which states that when the economy is failing, use of the public library increases, has existed since the late 19th century. Educator and library administrator Steven James is credited with naming this phenomenon as he attempted to extrapolate the relationship between library usage and economic conditions. James’ 1985 research found no correlation between library use and economic using data from the sixties to the mid-seventies. However, the American Library Association’s Library Research Center several years later found that material circulation had increased significantly in the late nineties, a time of noted economic strife, leaving the question of the impact of economic trends on library use unresolved. Numerous articles dealing with library usage, economic downturns, library funding, and patron needs seek to understand past trends while anticipating, and even predicting, trends of the modern public library. This axiom bears out anecdotally; yet it is technically unproven statistically. The defined period of the Great Recession provides an opportunity to address this belief by using existing public library usage statistics. For this article, statistics used will be two years before, during, and two years after the Great Recession (2006–2011). Taking the annual data from public libraries which is reported to the state library agencies and then compiled nationally by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Public Library Service (PLS), Library Journal created the LJ Index of Public Library Service and Star library rating system. The LJ Index scores consist of the following four per capita service output statistics: library visits, circulation, program attendance, and public internet use. Specifically, library visits and circulation statistics are utilized to determine if, during this time of documented economic strife, library usage increased as per the librarian’s axiom.

ABSTRACT This exploratory study examines the gender parity of public library directors. While there has been considerable research on the role of women library leaders in academic libraries through the 1990s, little is known about the gender parity of public library directors. The membership of the Urban Libraries Council (ULC) serves as the sample size for this study. Gender parity of public library directors reached its zenith in 1999 with 65% of public library directors being women. A little over twenty years later, that number declined to 57.82%, a reduction of about seven percent. This study demonstrates the gender parity of public library directors has not been met.

ABSTRACT Starting school marks an important milestone for young children. Preparing children for this transition is known to many as school readiness, an oftentimes debated concept due to its meaning, which varies depending on the context and how one interprets school readiness. What is certain is that school readiness is a familiar and established term, echoed by parents, educators, scholars, policymakers and, most recently, children’s librarians. Through services and programs, such as the highly anticipated storytime, public libraries strive to support early learning experiences to foster children’s school readiness. As a result, children’s librarians play a vital role in supporting early child development as well as promoting school readiness goals, yet little is known about their understanding and conceptions of this construct. To begin to bridge this gap in scholarship, this qualitative study investigates children’s librarians’ conceptualizations of school readiness. Specifically, this study focuses on librarians’ open responses to a school readiness question embedded at the onset of an online learning module designed to support librarians’ professional development. Early literacy skills were identified as the sine qua non of school readiness, followed by social emotional skills, general skills-concepts-knowledge, approaches to learning, and mathematics. These findings demonstrate that children’s librarians have a rigorous understanding of what children should know and be able to do across multiple domains in order to be ready for school.

ABSTRACT The public library professionals’ views of the value of public library roles are examined. Differences and similarities are analyzed to provide knowledge on current perceptions and to enhance our knowledge of public library value concepts. Based on the findings from reviews of literature exploring value, the participants were asked to categorize the value of public libraries. The study applies the initial step of consensus studies. Amongst the similarities and differences identified, findings show what the individual perceptions of value amongst public library professionals potentially mean to the development of public library services, and thereby also to the delivery of value.

ABSTRACT This article provides an overview of the Libraries Build Business Playbook, a product of the American Library Association’s Libraries Build Business initiative (2020–2022), with the aim of introducing a wider audience to this resource and encouraging participation in its further development and use. We situate the Playbook and library engagement with small business initiatives in terms of the role libraries play in economic advancement more generally and entrepreneurship as a means for economic empowerment. We discuss the development and content of the Playbook and its application to the library field; related opportunities, including the Libraries Build Business Community; and ways in which libraries can participate in expanding entrepreneurship programs and resources to be more diverse and inclusive.

ABSTRACT This study uses the bibliometric method to analyze green libraries on a global scale. Additionally, it discusses the trends of article publication, research fields, authors, spatial and temporal distribution, and so on. The results of the study show that information technology applications and green practices in libraries are at the core of the study, and in terms of issued articles and cooperation in research, the United States and China rank among the top countries worldwide. According to the findings, cooperation among countries is poor. The article forms a multidisciplinary research posture with Library and Information Science as the core component. Furthermore, a keyword analysis revealed that research on the green library has shifted from pure environmental impact assessment to a multi-directional combination.

ABSTRACT Semi-structured interviews with 13 public library branch managers explored their perceptions of the growing trend to situate social workers in public libraries in order to improve the provision of social services information. Both branch managers who had social workers in their libraries, and those who did not, volunteered to be interviewed. Overall, perceptions of the trend were positive, but there are still issues to be resolved about the role of the social worker in the library, how social workers and librarians can best collaborate, and what appropriate supervision and assessment of library social workers require.

ABSTRACT This study examines public municipal libraries and public library districts at the local government level in the U.S. and specifically Illinois, the state with the most units of local government and public library districts in the country. This study contributes to the study of public libraries by providing a comparison between district and municipal libraries. Based on a national survey of public libraries and interviews with public library staff, we found that, on average, special district libraries received more financial input, provided more programs and services, and generated higher service output than their municipal counterparts. However, the differences between these two types of libraries may vary by states. Using Illinois as an example, district libraries may receive less revenue than municipal libraries. District libraries in Illinois also provided fewer services and programs and generated less service output than municipal libraries.

ABSTRACT The goal of this research was to examine U.S.-based librarians’ history of training on public health topics and their comfort delivering adolescent-focused public health interventions. A total of 269 library staff from 37 states completed a brief online survey. Eighty-four percent of respondents stated that their library had hosted public health programs for youth ages 10–17. Eighty-five percent reported they would be interested or very interested in facilitating an intervention focused on youth (ages 10–17). Ninety-eight percent of participants reported receiving training on at least one public health topic. The most common trainings reported were related to infectious diseases, including COVID (82.9%) and adolescent health and development (78.4%). Most participants were comfortable discussing public health topics, such as sexual and reproductive health (83.6%), adolescent health and development (82.5%), substance use (81.4%), and infectious diseases (81%). Having learned about the topic on their own and having had experience related to the topic were the most common reasons stated for feeling comfortable discussing public health topics with youth. These findings suggest that librarians are interested in and comfortable enough to serve as resources for health promotion among adolescents when adequately trained.
