This book highlights the challenges that rural libraries experience
and offers best practices to contend with them with limited resources.
Nearly 50% of libraries in the United States are considered rural.
These libraries face unique challenges and issues that continue to
manifest as they contend with the systematic problem of access to
information. These challenges include: Financial barriers such as the
drying up of recent federal and local grant funds for both rural
municipalities and public libraries specifically; broadband
accessibility; Ebook access; mobile hotspot circulation and community
access points outside the library; and more. How can librarians
address these accessibility issues? This book highlights these
challenges and offers best practices to contend with them given the
limited resources rural libraries have access to.
