This "how-to" manual is a thorough compilation of essays detailing the start-up, maintenance, management, and evaluation of mobile, public library outreach services, promising to become the "bible" of public library outreach.

Today mobile outreach is more vital and diverse than ever, with librarians taking it to the streets for senior citizens, childcare organizations, immigrants and low-literate populations, urban and rural communities, prisoners, low-income populations, and other traditionally underserved public library populations.

The first book of its kind in more than two decades, On the Road with Outreach: Mobile Library Services provides step-by-step guidance for those wishing to initiate or improve outreach services in their communities. The essays collected here come from some of the best-known movers and shakers in the mobile outreach field--all of them subject experts and active outreach practitioners. Focusing on the practicalities of establishing and maintaining service to various populations, the book covers everything from design, purchase, maintenance, and automation of bookmobiles to planning and promotion and serving specific populations. Anecdotes, as well as sample service agreements, contracts, applications, staff schedules, and other working documents enhance the text.

Jeannie Dilger-Hill is director of the La Grange (IL) Public Library, a suburban Chicago library serving 15,000 residents.

Erica MacCreaigh served four years as a senior library consultant to the Colorado Department of Corrections.
