520 |a How can libraries make a difference in their communities when customers choose to hang out in the spacious, well-stocked new bookstore instead? With the goal of helping libraries market their services using low-cost or no-cost techniques, Woodward shares practical lessons for any library's revitalization inspired by the success of mega bookstores. Bookstores have succeeded by focusing on the customer, and libraries need to take a page from this playbook. While keeping one eye on their mission -- to broaden library use and increase relevance while serving community needs -- libraries can improve customer service, looks, and functionality in ways that enhance its community mission. -- Publisher description.
