You want your library to be a creative hub, but every community -- every patron -- thinks differently about creativity. Batykefer and Damon-Moore want to shake your thinking about the way you approach and market your library's resources and services in order to help your patrons. They help you identify what's already working at your library, consider ways to amplify them, and discuss options for filling any gaps that you identify along the way. -- adapted from Preface.
