This book is dedicated to my family, especially my father who originally inspired my interest in public libraries, both casual and professional, and who has been a constant source of encouragement and inspiration. More concretely, his knowledge of the language made possible the chapters on France, Senegal, and Canada. I would also like to thank my wife, Lyndsey, whose unwavering support enables me to do many things I would otherwise not attempt. I am extremely grateful to have these people, and many others, in my life.
