Walk with me as we dig deep into the intricacies, the awkwardness, the humiliation, involved in the stepparenting experience. This family dynamic does not discriminate. It takes its place in the homes of the wealthy, the impoverished, not on the basis of religion or economic or socio-economic status. It crosses boundaries, includes every spectrum of society and peels like an onion. This book explores and exposes some of the most bizarre secrets on the subject. It touches every racial and ethnic background. Filled with a myriad of emotions, it speaks of love, friendship, hate, jealousy, pity, courage. You will laugh and cry. Like peeking through French windows, sitting on a wraparound porch, the view is both obscured and breathtaking. The scenarios look at diverse families, how they cope, how they work, or refuse to work to bring cohesion into their complicated lives. Contradictions abound.

Presents a resource for practical management. This book offers: tips to help determine which activities effectively support goals and objectives; fourteen easy to follow tasks; the tools needed for staff to prepare and effectively communicate change; and, the necessary tools for reviewing potential library activities.

Focuses on the steps to draft a results-driven, strategic planning process that libraries can complete over the course of four months, regardless of organizational structure or size. This book makes the case for strategic rather than long-term planning and includes information about understanding and managing the change process to help staff.
