Barbakoff, A., & Lenstra, N. (2024). The 12 steps to a community-led library. ALA Editions.
By: Jerrica Edmundson
Summary:
Barbakoff and Lenstra provide a great insight into the concepts that must be understood when undertaking a co-design or participatory design project. They talk about taking the time to include end users in the process of creating library programming and the benefits that are innately created by doing so, as you not only are gauging interest, but designing the program surrounding the needs of the community served by the library.
Evaluation:
This is a great start to understanding co-design and serves as an excellent way to learn how to implement the concepts into your own library system or branch.
