Following the practical programs laid out here, young adult librarians
in public libraries, school librarians, and adult and young adult
services staff can easily explore many diverse cultures. "A
well-presented, easy-to-read and useful resource providing programmes to
be undertaken in school and public libraries to teach an awareness of
other cultures ... Each programme is well thought out, very detailed and
easy to follow; even if they are not followed to the letter, just having
such a resource to promote lateral thinking when designing library
programmes would be a bonus. I recommend this book for any public or
school library both for the programmes presented and also for the
thought-provoking ideas and the enthusiasm with which they are
presented." Dr. Linda B. Alexander teaches graduate students in
