Run It Like a Library by James LaRue is an insightful, forward-thinking guide that reframes libraries as agile, community-empowering institutions built on openness, access, and shared stewardship. Drawing from decades of professional experience, LaRue explores how the principles that make libraries “America’s greatest invention” can become models for stronger, more connected communities. Clear, thoughtful, and rich with practical frameworks, this book is both timely and essential reading for civic leaders, librarians, and anyone committed to community transformation.
