◗ ways librarians can link basic educational goals with appreciation of good literature◗ a bibliography of books suggested for their readers theatre potential, with examples of texts con-
verted into scripts◗ Core programming ideas that can be adapted for use across different age levels

Broken Pieces tracks Gorman’s roots from ‘a bohemian genius who worked at the Kilburn Branch Library’ to his leadership resulting in AACR2 . Balancing the personal with the professional, the book helps us understand Michael Gorman as never before .” —Leslie Burger, Director, Princeton Public Library, and ALA Past-President
