Contributors to this volume shed light on old stories and focus attention on new issues relating to civil rights, libraries and black librarianship. Papers deal with such topics as people who taught others to read, people who founded libraries and those who supported them, library organizers and library users, people who wrote and edited books for librarians to add to collections, and people who demonstrated courage and skill amidst the less commendable actions of others. Papers are divided into three main sections: "Legacies of Black Librarianship"; "Chronicles from the Civil Rights Movement"; and "Resources for Library Personnel, Services, and Collections." (Includes a list of contributors and an index.) (AEF)
