Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A lot of the book explains the concept of low-budget, creative problem solving as applied to cities and attempts to translate it to libraries (partially successfully). I appreciate and embrace the anarchistic "can-do" spirit that this book celebrates, although I wish there were more concrete examples of actual "tactical urbanism" in libraries. It frustrates me to see so much literature devoted to helping libraries "do more with less", and I thought this book would be in this vein. I'm glad that this book doesn't dwell on that - it encourages practitioners to engage stakeholders, leverage budgets, and not to settle for scraps. Instead, use resources at hand to tackle problems head-on while working towards more sustainable long-term goals. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Tactical urbanism, a global grassroots movement to improve cities by and for the people who live in them, has applications that are tailor made for libraries. Tactics like "start small," "value intangibles," and "bundle pragmatics with delight" can help libraries engage with their users while also solving immediate problems. Best of all, these projects can be lightweight, inexpensive, and quick to realize. Here, Munro offers plentiful examples from cities and libraries that show where tactical urbanism is happening now and making a difference. A quick-start guide that inspires and empowers libraries to launch their own tactical library projects, this book addresses such topics as useful urbanism concepts such as placemaking, pink zones, design thinking, and optical leverage; 12 steps to becoming a tactical library interventionist; 4 tactical urbanism case studies, such as the Astoria Scum River Bridge, Park(ing) Day, and Self-Gentrification, with discussion of why they matter to libraries; 5 library case studies, including Library Box, Boston Street Labs Storefront Library, and a "Dewey-Less" Library System, that demonstrate how libraries can apply tactical urbanism concepts; how cities and libraries can overlap initiatives, spotlighting real-world examples; and ways that library leaders can cultivate a tactics-friendly organization. This book illustrates how tactical urbanism offers librarians the tools to deliver fast, inexpensive, and innovative projects with big impact. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Some smaller-scale case studies would have been nice, but it is tactical urbanism so what can you do. Really what I want is just more of these case studies - if someone created the "wacky tactical library projects" blog I would 1000% follow that. ( )
