Shaffer entered into a contract with ABC-CLIO today to turn his dissertation into a sustainability how-to-guide for public librarians under their Libraries Unlimited imprint. The book will help those working in public libraries to start their journey towards creating a sustainable public library for their community. Titled: Creating the Sustainable Public Library: The Triple Bottom Line Approach, the book will outline practical steps Shaffer identified in his doctoral research, while expanding upon it with what he and his colleagues have deployed at the Tulsa City-County Library. Look for the book in latter 2017.
